====================
Netfilter updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next. This
includes one patch to update ovs and act_ct to use nf_ct_put() instead
of nf_conntrack_put().

1) Add netns_tracker to nfnetlink_log and masquerade, from Eric Dumazet.

2) Remove redundant rcu read-size lock in nf_tables packet path.

3) Replace BUG() by WARN_ON_ONCE() in nft_payload.

4) Consolidate rule verdict tracing.

5) Replace WARN_ON() by WARN_ON_ONCE() in nf_tables core.

6) Make counter support built-in in nf_tables.

7) Add new field to conntrack object to identify locally generated
   traffic, from Florian Westphal.

8) Prevent NAT from shadowing well-known ports, from Florian Westphal.

9) Merge nf_flow_table_{ipv4,ipv6} into nf_flow_table_inet, also from
   Florian.

10) Remove redundant pointer in nft_pipapo AVX2 support, from Colin Ian King.

11) Replace opencoded max() in conntrack, from Jiapeng Chong.

12) Update conntrack to use refcount_t API, from Florian Westphal.

13) Move ip_ct_attach indirection into the nf_ct_hook structure.

14) Constify several pointer object in the netfilter codebase,
    from Florian Westphal.

15) Tree-wide replacement of nf_conntrack_put() by nf_ct_put(), also
    from Florian.

16) Fix egress splat due to incorrect rcu notation, from Florian.

17) Move stateful fields of connlimit, last, quota, numgen and limit
    out of the expression data area.

18) Build a blob to represent the ruleset in nf_tables, this is a
    requirement of the new register tracking infrastructure.

19) Add NFT_REG32_NUM to define the maximum number of 32-bit registers.

20) Add register tracking infrastructure to skip redundant
    store-to-register operations, this includes support for payload,
    meta and bitwise expresssions.

README

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.
