Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next tree:
1) Support for transparent proxying for nf_tables, from Mate Eckl.
2) Patchset to add OS passive fingerprint recognition for nf_tables,
from Fernando Fernandez. This takes common code from xt_osf and
place it into the new nfnetlink_osf module for codebase sharing.
3) Lightweight tunneling support for nf_tables.
4) meta and lookup are likely going to be used in rulesets, make them
direct calls. From Florian Westphal.
A bunch of incremental updates:
5) use PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO() from nft_numgen, from YueHaibing.
6) Use kvmalloc_array() to allocate hashtables, from Li RongQing.
7) Explicit dependencies between nfnetlink_cttimeout and conntrack
timeout extensions, from Harsha Sharma.
8) Simplify NLM_F_CREATE handling in nf_tables.
9) Removed unused variable in the get element command, from
YueHaibing.
10) Expose bridge hook priorities through uapi, from Mate Eckl.
And a few fixes for previous Netfilter batch for net-next:
11) Use per-netns mutex from flowtable event, from Florian Westphal.
12) Remove explicit dependency on iptables CT target from conntrack
zones, from Florian.
13) Fix use-after-free in rmmod nf_conntrack path, also from Florian.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
