Jakub Kicinski 294e70c952 This time we have:
* ndo_fill_forward_path support in mac80211, to let
    drivers use it
  * association comeback notification for userspace,
    to be able to react more sensibly to long delays
  * support for background radar detection hardware
    in some chipsets
  * SA Query Procedures offload on the AP side
  * more logging if we find problems with HT/VHT/HE
  * various cleanups and minor fixes

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.
