Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "Here are the main documentation changes for 5.5: - Various kerneldoc script enhancements. - More RST conversions; those are slowing down as we run out of things to convert, but we're a ways from done still. - Dan's "maintainer profile entry" work landed at last. Now we just need to get maintainers to fill in the profiles... - A reworking of the parallel build setup to work better with a variety of systems (and to not take over huge systems entirely in particular). - The MAINTAINERS file is now converted to RST during the build. Hopefully nobody ever tries to print this thing, or they will need to load a lot of paper. - A script and documentation making it easy for maintainers to add Link: tags at commit time. Also included is the removal of a bunch of spurious CR characters" * tag 'docs-5.5a' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (91 commits) docs: remove a bunch of stray CRs docs: fix up the maintainer profile document libnvdimm, MAINTAINERS: Maintainer Entry Profile Maintainer Handbook: Maintainer Entry Profile MAINTAINERS: Reclaim the P: tag for Maintainer Entry Profile docs, parallelism: Rearrange how jobserver reservations are made docs, parallelism: Do not leak blocking mode to other readers docs, parallelism: Fix failure path and add comment Documentation: Remove bootmem_debug from kernel-parameters.txt Documentation: security: core.rst: fix warnings Documentation/process/howto/kokr: Update for 4.x -> 5.x versioning Documentation/translation: Use Korean for Korean translation title docs/memory-barriers.txt: Remove remaining references to mmiowb() docs/memory-barriers.txt/kokr: Update I/O section to be clearer about CPU vs thread docs/memory-barriers.txt/kokr: Fix style, spacing and grammar in I/O section Documentation/kokr: Kill all references to mmiowb() docs/memory-barriers.txt/kokr: Rewrite "KERNEL I/O BARRIER EFFECTS" section docs: Add initial documentation for devfreq Documentation: Document how to get links with git am docs: Add request_irq() documentation ...

devlink: Add layer 3 generic packet exception traps

2019-11-08T03:51:40Z

Add layer 3 generic packet exception traps that can report trapped packets and documentation of the traps. Unlike drop traps, these exception traps also need to inject the packet to the kernel's receive path. For example, a packet that was trapped due to unreachable neighbour need to be injected into the kernel so that it will trigger an ARP request or a neighbour solicitation message.
