Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next: 1) Extended netlink error reporting if nfnetlink attribute parser fails, from Donald Hunter. 2) Incorrect request_module() module, from Simon Horman. 3) A series of patches to reduce memory consumption for set element transactions. Florian Westphal says: "When doing a flush on a set or mass adding/removing elements from a set, each element needs to allocate 96 bytes to hold the transactional state. In such cases, virtually all the information in struct nft_trans_elem is the same. Change nft_trans_elem to a flex-array, i.e. a single nft_trans_elem can hold multiple set element pointers. The number of elements that can be stored in one nft_trans_elem is limited by the slab allocator, this series limits the compaction to at most 62 elements as it caps the reallocation to 2048 bytes of memory." 4) A series of patches to prepare the transition to dscp_t in .flowi_tos. From Guillaume Nault. 5) Support for bitwise operations with two source registers, from Jeremy Sowden. * tag 'nf-next-24-11-15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netfilter/nf-next: netfilter: bitwise: add support for doing AND, OR and XOR directly netfilter: bitwise: rename some boolean operation functions netfilter: nf_dup4: Convert nf_dup_ipv4_route() to dscp_t. netfilter: nft_fib: Convert nft_fib4_eval() to dscp_t. netfilter: rpfilter: Convert rpfilter_mt() to dscp_t. netfilter: flow_offload: Convert nft_flow_route() to dscp_t. netfilter: ipv4: Convert ip_route_me_harder() to dscp_t. netfilter: nf_tables: allocate element update information dynamically netfilter: nf_tables: switch trans_elem to real flex array netfilter: nf_tables: prepare nft audit for set element compaction netfilter: nf_tables: prepare for multiple elements in nft_trans_elem structure netfilter: nf_tables: add nft_trans_commit_list_add_elem helper netfilter: bpf: Pass string literal as format argument of request_module() netfilter: nfnetlink: Report extack policy errors for batched ops ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20241115133207.8907-1-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.
