Florian Westphal says: ==================== netfilter updates for net This PR contains nf_tables updates for your *net* tree. First patch fixes table validation, I broke this in 6.4 when tracking validation state per table, reported by Pablo, fixup from myself. Second patch makes sure objects waiting for memory release have been released, this was broken in 6.1, patch from Pablo Neira Ayuso. Patch three is a fix-for-fix from previous PR: In case a transaction gets aborted, gc sequence counter needs to be incremented so pending gc requests are invalidated, from Pablo. Same for patch 4: gc list needs to use gc list lock, not destroy lock, also from Pablo. Patch 5 fixes a UaF in a set backend, but this should only occur when failslab is enabled for GFP_KERNEL allocations, broken since feature was added in 5.6, from myself. Patch 6 fixes a double-free bug that was also added via previous PR: We must not schedule gc work if the previous batch is still queued. netfilter pull request 2023-08-23 * tag 'nf-23-08-23' of ssh://gitolite.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netfilter/nf: netfilter: nf_tables: defer gc run if previous batch is still pending netfilter: nf_tables: fix out of memory error handling netfilter: nf_tables: use correct lock to protect gc_list netfilter: nf_tables: GC transaction race with abort path netfilter: nf_tables: flush pending destroy work before netlink notifier netfilter: nf_tables: validate all pending tables ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230823152711.15279-1-fw@strlen.de Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
