net: move misc netdev_lock flavors to a separate header

Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to
a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity
and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching
the header with the helpers).

The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used
in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used
most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.

rtnetlink: Remove __rtnl_link_register()

link_ops is protected by link_ops_mutex and no longer needs RTNL,
so we have no reason to have __rtnl_link_register() separately.

Let's remove it and call rtnl_link_register() from ifb.ko and
dummy.ko.

Note that both modules' init() work on init_net only, so we need
not export pernet_ops_rwsem and can use rtnl_net_lock() there.

rtnetlink: Remove __rtnl_link_unregister().

rtnl_link_unregister() holds RTNL and calls __rtnl_link_unregister(),
where we call synchronize_srcu() to wait inflight RTM_NEWLINK requests
for per-netns RTNL.

We put synchronize_srcu() in __rtnl_link_unregister() due to ifb.ko
and dummy.ko.

However, rtnl_newlink() will acquire SRCU before RTNL later in this
series. Then, lockdep will detect the deadlock:

rtnl_link_unregister() rtnl_newlink()
---- ----
lock(rtnl_mutex);
lock(&ops->srcu);
lock(rtnl_mutex);
sync(&ops->srcu);

To avoid the problem, we must call synchronize_srcu() before RTNL in
rtnl_link_unregister().

As a preparation, let's remove __rtnl_link_unregister().

net/dummy: Move stats allocation to core

With commit 34d21de99cea9 ("net: Move {l,t,d}stats allocation to core and
convert veth & vrf"), stats allocation could be done on net core instead
of this driver.

With this new approach, the driver doesn't have to bother with error
handling (allocation failure checking, making sure free happens in the
right spot, etc). This is core responsibility now.

Move dummy driver to leverage the core allocation.

ethtool: doc: clarify what drivers can implement in their get_drvinfo()

Many of the drivers which implement ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo() will
prints the .driver, .version or .bus_info of struct ethtool_drvinfo.
To have a glance of current state, do:

$ git grep -W "get_drvinfo(struct"

Printing in those three fields is useless because:

- since [1], the driver version should be the kernel version (at
least for upstream drivers). Arguably, out of tree drivers might
still want to set a custom version, but out of tree is not our
focus.

- since [2], the core is able to provide default values for .driver
and .bus_info.

In summary, drivers may provide .fw_version and .erom_version, the
rest is expected to be done by the core.

In struct ethtool_ops doc from linux/ethtool: rephrase field
get_drvinfo() doc to discourage developers from implementing this
callback.

In struct ethtool_drvinfo doc from uapi/linux/ethtool.h: remove the
paragraph mentioning what drivers should do. Rationale: no need to
repeat what is already written in struct ethtool_ops doc. But add a
note that .fw_version and .erom_version are driver defined.

Also update the dummy driver and simply remove the callback in order
not to confuse the newcomers: most of the drivers will not need this
callback function any more.

kernel version")

net: Do not take net_rwsem in __rtnl_link_unregister()

This function calls call_netdevice_notifier(), which also
may take net_rwsem. So, we can't use net_rwsem here.

This patch makes callers of this functions take pernet_ops_rwsem,
like register_netdevice_notifier() does. This will protect
the modifications of net_namespace_list, and allows notifiers
to take it (they won't have to care about context).

Since __rtnl_link_unregister() is used on module load
and unload (which are not frequent operations), this looks
for me better, than make all call_netdevice_notifier()
always executing in "protected net_namespace_list" context.

Also, this fixes the problem we had a deal in 328fbe747ad4
"Close race between {un, }register_netdevice_notifier and ...",
and guarantees __rtnl_link_unregister() does not skip
exitting net.

net: remove MTU limits for dummy and ifb device

These two drivers (dummy and ifb) call ether_setup(), after commit
61e84623ace3 ("net: centralize net_device min/max MTU checking"), the
range of mtu is [min_mtu, max_mtu], which is [68, 1500] by default.

These two devices should not have limits on MTU. This patch set their
min_mtu/max_mtu to 0. So that dev_set_mtu() will not check the mtu range,
and can be set with any value.

net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.

Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor().

The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.

netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.

netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.

Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().

This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.

If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But
it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor().

This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.

However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev->destructor() will not be.

Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.

Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.

Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().

netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for
free_netdev().

netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().

Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit()
and netdev->priv_destructor().

And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().

This enables developing code that uses SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE
by using localhost addresses (without needing to send packets outside),
as well as enabling unit and functional testing of TX timestamping code
without needing hardware support or network access.

It also fulfills the expectation of software network devices supporting
software-based timestamping.

net: dummy: Introduce dummy virtual functions

The idea for this was born when testing VF support in iproute2 which was
impeded by hardware requirements. In fact, not every VF-capable hardware
driver implements all netdev ops, so testing the interface is still hard
to do even with a well-sorted hardware shelf.

To overcome this and allow for testing the user-kernel interface, this
patch allows to turn dummy into a PF with a configurable amount of VFs.

Since my patch series 'bus-agnostic-num-vf' has been accepted,
implementing the required interfaces is pretty straightforward: Iff
'num_vfs' module parameter was given a value >0, a dummy bus type is
being registered which implements the 'num_vf()' callback. Additionally,
a dummy parent device common to all dummy devices is registered which
sits on the above dummy bus.

Joint work with Sabrina Dubroca.

net: make ndo_get_stats64 a void function

The network device operation for reading statistics is only called
in one place, and it ignores the return value. Having a structure
return value is potentially confusing because some future driver could
incorrectly assume that the return value was used.

Fix all drivers with ndo_get_stats64 to have a void function.
