<content type='text'>
Convert the -&gt;flowic_tos field of struct flowi_common from __u8 to
dscp_t, rename it -&gt;flowic_dscp and propagate these changes to struct
flowi and struct flowi4.

We've had several bugs in the past where ECN bits could interfere with
IPv4 routing, because these bits were not properly cleared when setting
-&gt;flowi4_tos. These bugs should be fixed now and the dscp_t type has
been introduced to ensure that variables carrying DSCP values don't
accidentally have any ECN bits set. Several variables and structure
fields have been converted to dscp_t already, but the main IPv4 routing
structure, struct flowi4, is still using a __u8. To avoid any future
regression, this patch converts it to dscp_t.

There are many users to convert at once. Fortunately, around half of
-&gt;flowi4_tos users already have a dscp_t value at hand, which they
currently convert to __u8 using inet_dscp_to_dsfield(). For all of
these users, we just need to drop that conversion.

But, although we try to do the __u8 &lt;-&gt; dscp_t conversions at the
boundaries of the network or of user space, some places still store
TOS/DSCP variables as __u8 in core networking code. Those can hardly be
converted either because the data structure is part of UAPI or because
the same variable or field is also used for handling ECN in other parts
of the code. In all of these cases where we don't have a dscp_t
variable at hand, we need to use inet_dsfield_to_dscp() when
interacting with -&gt;flowi4_dscp.

Changes since v1:
  * Fix space alignment in __bpf_redirect_neigh_v4() (Ido).

Commit cc34acd577f1 ("docs: net: document new locking reality")
introduced netif_ vs dev_ function semantics: the former expects locked
netdev, the latter takes care of the locking. We don't strictly
follow this semantics on either side, but there are more dev_xxx handlers
now that don't fit. Rename them to netif_xxx where appropriate.

netif_pre_changeaddr_notify is used only by ipvlan/bond, so move it into
NETDEV_INTERNAL namespace.

the more generic get_unaligned and just cast the input parameter.

<content type='text'>
When delete l3s ipvlan:

    ip link del link eth0 ipvlan1 type ipvlan mode l3s

This may cause a null pointer dereference:

    Call trace:
     ip_rcv_finish+0x48/0xd0

     net_rx_action+0xd8/0x22c
     __do_softirq+0x12c/0x354

This is because l3mdev_l3_rcv() visit dev-&gt;l3mdev_ops after
ipvlan_l3s_unregister() assign the dev-&gt;l3mdev_ops to NULL. The process
like this:

    (CPU1)                     | (CPU2)
    l3mdev_l3_rcv()            |
      check dev-&gt;priv_flags:   |

                               |
      visit master-&gt;l3mdev_ops |

To avoid this by do not set dev-&gt;l3mdev_ops when unregister l3s ipvlan.

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.

Add two helper functions - rtnl_newlink_link_net() and
rtnl_newlink_peer_net() for netns fallback logic. Peer netns falls back
to link netns, and link netns falls back to source netns.

Convert the use of params-&gt;net in netdevice drivers to one of the helper
functions for clarity.

<title>rtnetlink: Pack newlink() params into struct</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux/commit/?id=69c7be1b903fca2835e80ec506bd1d75ce84fb4d'/>
<id>urn:sha1:69c7be1b903fca2835e80ec506bd1d75ce84fb4d</id>
<content type='text'>
There are 4 net namespaces involved when creating links:

 - source netns - where the netlink socket resides,
 - target netns - where to put the device being created,
 - link netns - netns associated with the device (backend),
 - peer netns - netns of peer device.

Currently, two nets are passed to newlink() callback - "src_net"
parameter and "dev_net" (implicitly in net_device). They are set as
follows, depending on netlink attributes in the request.

 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
 | peer netns | IFLA_LINK_NETNSID | src_net | dev_net |
 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | absent            | source  | target  |
 | absent     +-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | present           | link    | link    |
 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | absent            | peer    | target  |
 | present    +-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | present           | peer    | link    |
 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+

When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is present, the device is created in link netns
first and then moved to target netns. This has some side effects,
including extra ifindex allocation, ifname validation and link events.
These could be avoided if we create it in target netns from
the beginning.

On the other hand, the meaning of src_net parameter is ambiguous. It
varies depending on how parameters are passed. It is the effective
link (or peer netns) by design, but some drivers ignore it and use
dev_net instead.

To provide more netns context for drivers, this patch packs existing
newlink() parameters, along with the source netns, link netns and peer
netns, into a struct. The old "src_net" is renamed to "net" to avoid
confusion with real source netns, and will be deprecated later. The use
of src_net are converted to params-&gt;net trivially.
