Good, thanks.

I'd suggest you send a separated patch to get the nf_tables.h cached
copy under libnftnl/include/linux/

I occasionally make patches like this one:

commit 239fabea9a436aaa7b787f389d80dfb57f7b893c
Author: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Tue Aug 13 21:41:45 2019 +0200

    include: resync nf_tables.h cache copy

    Get this header in sync with 5.3-rc1.

You bring all pending updates, so you help keep it sync :-)

Thanks.
