Peter Oskolkov says: ==================== ip: Use rb trees for IP frag queue. This patchset * changes IPv4 defrag behavior to match that of IPv6: overlapping fragments now cause the whole IP datagram to be discarded (suggested by David Miller): there are no legitimate use cases for overlapping fragments; * changes IPv4 defrag queue from a list to a rb tree (suggested by Eric Dumazet): this change removes a potential attach vector. Upcoming patches will contain similar changes for IPv6 frag queue, as well as a comprehensive IP defrag self-test (temporarily delayed). ==================== 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.
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.
