   - bnxt_en: fix memory leak in bnxt_hwrm_get_rings()
 
   - revert "net: macsec: use skb_ensure_writable_head_tail to expand the skb"
 
 Previous releases - regressions:
 
   - core: fix removing a namespace with conflicting altnames

   - tcp:
     - make sure init the accept_queue's spinlocks once

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.
