In order to avoid passing around struct sockaddr that has a size the
compiler cannot reason about (nor track at runtime), convert
netif_set_mac_address() to take struct sockaddr_storage. This is just a
cast conversion, so there is are no binary changes. Following patches
will make actual allocation changes.

system_page_pool is a per-CPU variable and relies on disabled BH for its
locking. Without per-CPU locking in local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT
this data structure requires explicit locking.
Make a struct with a page_pool member (original system_page_pool) and a
local_lock_t and use local_lock_nested_bh() for locking. This change
adds only lockdep coverage and does not alter the functional behaviour
for !PREEMPT_RT.

Update the for_each_netdev_in_bond_rcu macro to iterate through network
devices in the bond's network namespace instead of always using
init_net. This change is safe because:
1. **Bond-Slave Namespace Relationship**: A bond device and its slaves
must reside in the same network namespace. The bond device's
namespace is established at creation time and cannot change.
2. **Slave Movement Implications**: Any attempt to move a slave device
to a different namespace automatically removes it from the bond, as
per kernel networking stack rules.
This maintains the invariant that slaves must exist in the same
namespace as their bond.
This change is part of an effort to enable Link Aggregation (LAG) to
work properly inside custom network namespaces. Previously, the macro
would only find slave devices in the initial network namespace,
preventing proper bonding functionality in custom namespaces.

Accidentally spotted while trying to understand what else needs
to be renamed to netif_ prefix. Most of the calls to dev_set_promiscuity
are adjacent to dev_set_allmulti or dev_disable_lro so it should
be safe to add the lock. Note that new netif_set_promiscuity is
currently unused, the locked paths call __dev_set_promiscuity directly.

Kuniyuki reports that the assert for netdev lock fires when
there are netdev event listeners (otherwise we skip the netlink
event generation).
Correct the locking when coming from the notifier.
The NETDEV_XDP_FEAT_CHANGE notifier is already fully locked,
it's the documentation that's incorrect.

Previously, device driver IPSec offload implementations would fall into
two categories:
1. Those that used xso.dev to determine the offload device.
2. Those that used xso.real_dev to determine the offload device.
The first category didn't work with bonding while the second did.
In a non-bonding setup the two pointers are the same.
This commit adds explicit pointers for the offload netdevice to
.xdo_dev_state_add() / .xdo_dev_state_delete() / .xdo_dev_state_free()
which eliminates the confusion and allows drivers from the first
category to work with bonding.
xso.real_dev now becomes a private pointer managed by the bonding
driver.

netdevice reg_state was split into two 16 bit enums back in 2010
in commit a2835763e130 ("rtnetlink: handle rtnl_link netlink
notifications manually"). Since the split the fields have been
moved apart, and last year we converted reg_state to a normal
u8 in commit 4d42b37def70 ("net: convert dev->reg_state to u8").
rtnl_link_state being a 16 bitfield makes no sense. Convert it
to a single bool, it seems very unlikely after 15 years that
we'll need more values in it.
We could drop dev->rtnl_link_ops from the conditions but feels
like having it there more clearly points at the reason for this
hack.

txq_trans_update() currently uses txq->xmit_lock_owner
to conditionally update txq->trans_start.
For regular devices, txq->xmit_lock_owner is updated
from HARD_TX_LOCK() and HARD_TX_UNLOCK(), and this apparently
causes cpu stalls.
Using dev->lltx, which sits in a read-mostly cache-line,
and already used in HARD_TX_LOCK() and HARD_TX_UNLOCK()
helps cpu prediction.
On an AMD EPYC 7B12 dual socket server, tcp_rr with 128 threads
and 30,000 flows gets a 5 % increase in throughput.
As explained in commit 95ecba62e2fd ("net: fix races in
netdev_tx_sent_queue()/dev_watchdog()") I am planning
to no longer update txq->trans_start in the fast path
in a followup patch.

Protect xdp_features with netdev->lock. This way pure readers
no longer have to take rtnl_lock to access the field.
This includes calling NETDEV_XDP_FEAT_CHANGE under the lock.
Looks like that's fine for bonding, the only "real" listener,
it's the same as ethtool feature change.
In terms of normal drivers - only GVE need special consideration
(other drivers don't use instance lock or don't support XDP).
It calls xdp_set_features_flag() helper from gve_init_priv() which
in turn is called from gve_reset_recovery() (locked), or prior
to netdev registration. So switch to _locked.

Read accesses go via xsk_get_pool_from_qid(), the call coming
from the core and gve look safe (other "ops locked" drivers
don't support XSK).
Write accesses go via xsk_reg_pool_at_qid() and xsk_clear_pool_at_qid().
Former is already under the ops lock, latter is not (both coming from
the workqueue via xp_clear_dev() and NETDEV_UNREGISTER via xsk_notifier()).

netdev_get_by_index_lock() performs following steps:
rcu_lock();
dev = lookup(netns, ifindex);
dev_get(dev);
rcu_unlock();
[... lock & validate the dev ...]
return dev
Validation right now only checks if the device is registered but since
the lookup is netns-aware we must also protect against the device
switching netns right after we dropped the RCU lock. Otherwise
the caller in netns1 may get a pointer to a device which has just
switched to netns2.
We can't hold the lock for the entire netns change process (because of
the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier), and there's no existing marking to
indicate that the netns is unlisted because of netns move, so add one.
AFAIU none of the existing netdev_get_by_index_lock() callers can
suffer from this problem (NAPI code double checks the netns membership
and other callers are either under rtnl_lock or not ns-sensitive),
so this patch does not have to be treated as a fix.

netdev netlink is the only reader of netdev_{,rx_}queue->napi,
and it already holds netdev->lock. Switch protection of
the writes to netdev->lock to "ops protected".
The expectation will be now that accessing queue->napi
will require netdev->lock for "ops locked" drivers, and
rtnl_lock for all other drivers.
Current "ops locked" drivers don't require any changes.
gve and netdevsim use _locked() helpers right next to
netif_queue_set_napi() so they must be holding the instance
lock. iavf doesn't call it. bnxt is a bit messy but all paths
seem locked.

Drivers which opt into instance lock protection of ops should
only call set_real_num_*_queues() under the instance lock.
This means that queue counts are double protected (writes
are under both rtnl_lock and instance lock, readers under
either).
Some readers may still be under the rtnl_lock, however, so for
now we need double protection of writers.
OTOH queue API paths are only under the protection of the instance
lock, so we need to validate that the instance is actually locking
ops, otherwise the input checks we do against queue count are racy.

Try to define some terminology for which fields are protected
by which lock and how. Some fields are protected by both rtnl_lock
and instance lock which is hard to talk about without having
a "key phrase" to refer to a particular protection scheme.
"ops protected" fields are defined later in the series, one by one.
Add ASSERT_RTNL() to netdev_ops_assert_locked() for drivers
not other instance protection of ops. Hopefully it's not too
confusion that netdev_lock_ops() does not match the lock which
netdev_ops_assert_locked() will assert, exactly. The noun "ops"
is in a different place in the name, so I think it's acceptable...

Currently network taps unbound to any interface are linked in the
global ptype_all list, affecting the performance in all the network
namespaces.
Add per netns ptypes chains, so that in the mentioned case only
the netns owning the packet socket(s) is affected.
While at that drop the global ptype_all list: no in kernel user
registers a tap on "any" type without specifying either the target
device or the target namespace (and IMHO doing that would not make
any sense).
Note that this adds a conditional in the fast path (to check for
per netns ptype_specific list) and increases the dataset size by
a cacheline (owing the per netns lists).

Handling the CWR flag differs between RFC 3168 ECN and AccECN.
With RFC 3168 ECN aware TSO (NETIF_F_TSO_ECN) CWR flag is cleared
starting from 2nd segment which is incompatible how AccECN handles
the CWR flag. Such super-segments are indicated by SKB_GSO_TCP_ECN.
With AccECN, CWR flag (or more accurately, the ACE field that also
includes ECE & AE flags) changes only when new packet(s) with CE
mark arrives so the flag should not be changed within a super-skb.
The new skb/feature flags are necessary to prevent such TSO engines
corrupting AccECN ACE counters by clearing the CWR flag (if the
CWR handling feature cannot be turned off).
If NIC is completely unaware of RFC3168 ECN (doesn't support
NETIF_F_TSO_ECN) or its TSO engine can be set to not touch CWR flag
despite supporting also NETIF_F_TSO_ECN, TSO could be safely used
with AccECN on such NIC. This should be evaluated per NIC basis
(not done in this patch series for any NICs).
For the cases, where TSO cannot keep its hands off the CWR flag,
a GSO fallback is provided by this patch.

There is a couple of places from which we can arrive to ndo_setup_tc
with TC_SETUP_BLOCK/TC_SETUP_FT:
- netlink
- netlink notifier
- netdev notifier
Locking netdev too deep in this call chain seems to be problematic
(especially assuming some/all of the call_netdevice_notifiers
NETDEV_UNREGISTER) might soon be running with the instance lock).
Revert to lockless ndo_setup_tc for TC_SETUP_BLOCK/TC_SETUP_FT. NFT
framework already takes care of most of the locking. Document
the assumptions.

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.

Only devlink and sriov paths are grabbing rtnl explicitly. The rest is
covered by netdev instance lock which the core now grabs, so there is
no need to manage rtnl in most places anymore.
On the core side we can now try to drop rtnl in some places
(do_setlink for example) for the drivers that signal non-rtnl
mode (TBD).
Boot-tested and with `ethtool -L eth1 combined 24` to trigger reset.

To preserve the atomicity, hold the lock while applying multiple
attributes. The major issue with a full conversion to the instance
lock are software nesting devices (bonding/team/vrf/etc). Those
devices call into the core stack for their lower (potentially
real hw) devices. To avoid explicitly wrapping all those places
into instance lock/unlock, introduce new API boundaries:
- (some) existing dev_xxx calls are now considered "external"
(to drivers) APIs and they transparently grab the instance
lock if needed (dev_api.c)
- new netif_xxx calls are internal core stack API (naming is
sketchy, I've tried netdev_xxx_locked per Jakub's suggestion,
but it feels a bit verbose; but happy to get back to this
naming scheme if this is the preference)
This avoids touching most of the existing ioctl/sysfs/drivers paths.
Note the special handling of ndo_xxx_slave operations: I exploit
the fact that none of the drivers that call these functions
need/use instance lock. At the same time, they use dev_xxx
APIs, so the lower device has to be unlocked.
Changes in unregister_netdevice_many_notify (to protect dev->state
with instance lock) trigger lockdep - the loop over close_list
(mostly from cleanup_net) introduces spurious ordering issues.
netdev_lock_cmp_fn has a justification on why it's ok to suppress
for now.

For the drivers that use queue management API, switch to the mode where
core stack holds the netdev instance lock. This affects the following
drivers:
- bnxt
- gve
- netdevsim
Originally I locked only start/stop, but switched to holding the
lock over all iterations to make them look atomic to the device
(feels like it should be easier to reason about).

For the drivers that use shaper API, switch to the mode where
core stack holds the netdev lock. This affects two drivers:
* iavf - already grabs netdev lock in ndo_open/ndo_stop, so mostly
remove these
* netdevsim - switch to _locked APIs to avoid deadlock
iavf_close diff is a bit confusing, the existing call looks like this:
iavf_close() {
netdev_lock()
..
netdev_unlock()
wait_event_timeout(down_waitqueue)
}
I change it to the following:
netdev_lock()
iavf_close() {
..
netdev_unlock()
wait_event_timeout(down_waitqueue)
netdev_lock() // reusing this lock call
}
netdev_unlock()
Since I'm reusing existing netdev_lock call, so it looks like I only
add netdev_unlock.

In fact, these two are not tied closely to each other. The only
requirements to GRO are to use it in the BH context and have some
sane limits on the packet batches, e.g. NAPI has a limit of its
budget (64/8/etc.).
Move purely GRO fields into a new structure, &gro_node. Embed it
into &napi_struct and adjust all the references.
gro_node::cached_napi_id is effectively the same as
napi_struct::napi_id, but to be used on GRO hotpath to mark skbs.
napi_struct::napi_id is now a fully control path field.
Three Ethernet drivers use napi_gro_flush() not really meant to be
exported, so move it to <net/gro.h> and add that include there.
napi_gro_receive() is used in more than 100 drivers, keep it
in <linux/netdevice.h>.
This does not make GRO ready to use outside of the NAPI context
yet.

A common task for most drivers is to remember the user-set CPU affinity
to its IRQs. On each netdev reset, the driver should re-assign the user's
settings to the IRQs. Unify this task across all drivers by moving the CPU
affinity to napi->config.
However, to move the CPU affinity to core, we also need to move aRFS
rmap management since aRFS uses its own IRQ notifiers.
For the aRFS, add a new netdev flag "rx_cpu_rmap_auto". Drivers supporting
aRFS should set the flag via netif_enable_cpu_rmap() and core will allocate
and manage the aRFS rmaps. Freeing the rmap is also done by core when the
netdev is freed. For better IRQ affinity management, move the IRQ rmap
notifier inside the napi_struct and add new notify.notify and
notify.release functions: netif_irq_cpu_rmap_notify() and
netif_napi_affinity_release().
Now we have the aRFS rmap management in core, add CPU affinity mask to
napi_config. To delegate the CPU affinity management to the core, drivers
must:
1 - set the new netdev flag "irq_affinity_auto":
netif_enable_irq_affinity(netdev)
2 - create the napi with persistent config:
netif_napi_add_config()
3 - bind an IRQ to the napi instance: netif_napi_set_irq()
the core will then make sure to use re-assign affinity to the napi's
IRQ.
The default IRQ mask is set to one cpu starting from the closest NUMA.

After the previous commit is finally safe to revert commit dbae2b062824
("net: skb: introduce and use a single page frag cache"): do it here.
The intended goal of such change was to counter a performance regression
introduced by commit 3226b158e67c ("net: avoid 32 x truesize
under-estimation for tiny skbs").
Unfortunately, the blamed commit introduces another regression for the
virtio_net driver. Such a driver calls napi_alloc_skb() with a tiny
size, so that the whole head frag could fit a 512-byte block.
The single page frag cache uses a 1K fragment for such allocation, and
the additional overhead, under small UDP packets flood, makes the page
allocator a bottleneck.
Thanks to commit bf9f1baa279f ("net: add dedicated kmem_cache for
typical/small skb->head"), this revert does not re-introduce the
original regression. Actually, in the relevant test on top of this
revert, I measure a small but noticeable positive delta, just above
noise level.
The revert itself required some additional mangling due to recent updates
in the affected code.
