Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next: Patch #1 skips transaction if object type provides no .update interface. Patch #2 skips NETDEV_CHANGENAME which is unused. Patch #3 enables conntrack to handle Multicast Router Advertisements and Multicast Router Solicitations from the Multicast Router Discovery protocol (RFC4286) as untracked opposed to invalid packets. From Linus Luessing. Patch #4 updates DCCP conntracker to mark invalid as invalid, instead of dropping them, from Jason Xing. Patch #5 uses NF_DROP instead of -NF_DROP since NF_DROP is 0, also from Jason. Patch #6 removes reference in netfilter's sysctl documentation on pickup entries which were already removed by Florian Westphal. Patch #7 removes check for IPS_OFFLOAD flag to disable early drop which allows to evict entries from the conntrack table, also from Florian. Patches #8 to #16 updates nf_tables pipapo set backend to allocate the datastructure copy on-demand from preparation phase, to better deal with OOM situations where .commit step is too late to fail. Series from Florian Westphal. Patch #17 adds a selftest with packetdrill to cover conntrack TCP state transitions, also from Florian. Patch #18 use GFP_KERNEL to clone elements from control plane to avoid quick atomic reserves exhaustion with large sets, reporter refers to million entries magnitude. * tag 'nf-next-24-05-12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netfilter/nf-next: netfilter: nf_tables: allow clone callbacks to sleep selftests: netfilter: add packetdrill based conntrack tests netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: remove dirty flag netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: move cloning of match info to insert/removal path netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: prepare pipapo_get helper for on-demand clone netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: merge deactivate helper into caller netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: prepare walk function for on-demand clone netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: prepare destroy function for on-demand clone netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: make pipapo_clone helper return NULL netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: move prove_locking helper around netfilter: conntrack: remove flowtable early-drop test netfilter: conntrack: documentation: remove reference to non-existent sysctl netfilter: use NF_DROP instead of -NF_DROP netfilter: conntrack: dccp: try not to drop skb in conntrack netfilter: conntrack: fix ct-state for ICMPv6 Multicast Router Discovery netfilter: nf_tables: remove NETDEV_CHANGENAME from netdev chain event handler netfilter: nf_tables: skip transaction if update object is not implemented ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240512161436.168973-1-pablo@netfilter.org 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 reStructuredText 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.
