Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter fixes for net The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net: 1) refcount_inc_not_zero() is not semantically equivalent to atomic_int_not_zero(), from Florian Westphal. My understanding was that refcount_*() API provides a wrapper to easier debugging of reference count leaks, however, there are semantic differences between these two APIs, where refcount_inc_not_zero() needs a barrier. Reason for this subtle difference to me is unknown. 2) packet logging is not correct for ARP and IP packets, from the ARP family and netdev/egress respectively. Use skb_network_offset() to reach the headers accordingly. 3) set element extension length have been growing over time, replace a BUG_ON by EINVAL which might be triggerable from userspace. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
