Jason Donenfeld says: ==================== wireguard fixes for 5.12-rc1 This series has a collection of fixes that have piled up for a little while now, that I unfortunately didn't get a chance to send out earlier. 1) Removes unlikely() from IS_ERR(), since it's already implied. 2) Remove a bogus sparse annotation that hasn't been needed for years. 3) Addition test in the test suite for stressing parallel ndo_start_xmit. 4) Slight struct reordering in preparation for subsequent fix. 5) If skb->protocol is bogus, we no longer attempt to send icmp messages. 6) Massive memory usage fix, hit by larger deployments. 7) Fix typo in kconfig dependency logic. (1) and (2) are tiny cleanups, and (3) is just a test, so if you're trying to reduce churn, you could not backport these. But (4), (5), (6), and (7) fix problems and should be applied to stable. IMO, it's probably easiest to just apply them all to stable. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210222162549.3252778-1-Jason@zx2c4.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
