Linus Torvalds 4f5e5092fd Including fixes from can, wireless and netfilter.
Current release - regressions:
 
  - af_unix: fix task hung while purging oob_skb in GC
 
  - pds_core: do not try to run health-thread in VF path
 
 Current release - new code bugs:
 
  - sched: act_mirred: don't zero blockid when net device is being deleted
 
 Previous releases - regressions:
 
  - netfilter:
    - nat: restore default DNAT behavior
    - nf_tables: fix bidirectional offload, broken when unidirectional
      offload support was added
 
  - openvswitch: limit the number of recursions from action sets
 
  - eth: i40e: do not allow untrusted VF to remove administratively
    set MAC address
 
 Previous releases - always broken:
 
  - tls: fix races and bugs in use of async crypto
 
  - mptcp: prevent data races on some of the main socket fields,
    fix races in fastopen handling
 
  - dpll: fix possible deadlock during netlink dump operation
 
  - dsa: lan966x: fix crash when adding interface under a lag
    when some of the ports are disabled
 
  - can: j1939: prevent deadlock by changing j1939_socks_lock to rwlock
 
 Misc:
 
  - handful of fixes and reliability improvements for selftests
 
  - fix sysfs documentation missing net/ in paths
 
  - finish the work of squashing the missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION()
    warnings in networking

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.
