David Ahern says: ==================== neighbor: More gc_list changes More gc_list changes and cleanups. The first 2 patches are bug fixes from the first gc_list change. Specifically, fix the locking order to be consistent - table lock followed by neighbor lock, and then entries in the FAILED state should always be candidates for forced_gc without waiting for any time span (return to the eviction logic prior to the separate gc_list). Patch 3 removes 2 now unnecessary arguments to neigh_del. Patch 4 moves a helper from a header file to core code in preparation for Patch 5 which removes NTF_EXT_LEARNED entries from the gc_list. These entries are already exempt from forced_gc; patch 5 removes them from consideration and makes them on par with PERMANENT entries given that they are also managed by userspace. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
