David Ahern says: ==================== net: Fixups for recent dump filtering changes Li RongQing noted that tgt_net is leaked in ipv4 due to the recent change to handle address dumps for a specific device. The report also applies to ipv6 and other error paths. Patches 1 and 2 fix those leaks. Patch 3 stops route dumps from erroring out when dumping across address families and a table id is given. This is needed in preparation for patch 4. Patch 4 updates the rtnl_dump_all to handle a failure in one of the dumpit functions. At the moment, if an address dump returns an error the dump all loop breaks but the error is dropped. The result can be no data is returned and no error either leaving the user wondering about the addresses. Patches were tested with a modified iproute2 to add invalid data to the dump request causing each specific failure path to be hit in addition to positive testing that it works as it should when given valid data. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
