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.

[ Upstream commit 55b7ab11 ] VLAN checks for NETREG_UNINITIALIZED to distinguish between registration failure and unregistration in progress. Since commit cb626bf5 ("net-sysfs: Fix reference count leak") registration failure may, however, result in NETREG_UNREGISTERED as well as NETREG_UNINITIALIZED. This fix is similer to cebb6975 ("rtnetlink: Fix memory(net_device) leak when ->newlink fails") Fixes: cb626bf5 ("net-sysfs: Fix reference count leak") Signed-off-by:Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by:
