Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.

The 'size' variable is unsigned according to the dt-bindings.
As this variable is used as integer in other places, create a new variable
that allows to fix the following sparse issue (-Wtypesign):
drivers/irqchip/irq-crossbar.c:279:52: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different signedness)
drivers/irqchip/irq-crossbar.c:279:52: expected unsigned int [usertype] *out_value

On Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies QDF2400 SoCs, the ITS hardware
implementation uses 16Bytes for Interrupt Translation Entry (ITE),
but reports an incorrect value of 8Bytes in GITS_TYPER.ITTE_size.
It might cause kernel memory corruption depending on the number
of MSI(x) that are configured and the amount of memory that has
been allocated for ITEs in its_create_device().
This patch fixes the potential memory corruption by setting the
correct ITE size to 16Bytes.

Netfilter fixes for net
The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for your net tree,
they are:
1) Missing check for full sock in ip_route_me_harder(), from
Florian Westphal.
2) Incorrect sip helper structure initilization that breaks it when
several ports are used, from Christophe Leroy.
3) Fix incorrect assumption when looking up for matching with adjacent
intervals in the nft_set_rbtree.
4) Fix broken netlink event error reporting in nf_tables that results
in misleading ESRCH errors propagated to userspace listeners.

Pull staging/IIO driver fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are a few small staging and IIO driver fixes for issues that
showed up after the big set if changes you merged last week.
Nothing major, just small bugs resolved in some IIO drivers, a lustre
allocation fix, and some RaspberryPi driver fixes for reported
problems, as well as a MAINTAINERS entry update.
All of these have been in linux-next for a week with no reported
issues"
