src_net points to the netns where the netlink message has been received. This
netns may be different from the netns where the interface is created (because
the user may add IFLA_NET_NS_[PID|FD]). In this case, src_net is the link netns.

It seems wrong to override the netns in the newlink() handler because if it
was not already src_net, it means that the user explicitly asks to create the
netdevice in another netns.

<title>caif: Fix napi poll list corruption</title>

<id>3079c652141f9d6377417a7e8fd650c9948df65e</id>
<content type='text'>
The commit d75b1ade567ffab085e8adbbdacf0092d10cd09c (net: less
interrupt masking in NAPI) breaks caif.

It is now required that if the entire budget is consumed when poll
returns, the napi poll_list must remain empty.  However, like some
other drivers caif tries to do a last-ditch check and if there is
more work it will call napi_schedule and then immediately process
some of this new work.  Should the entire budget be consumed while
processing such new work then we will violate the new caller
contract.

This patch fixes this by not touching any work when we reschedule
in caif.

On success, the function netdev_alloc_skb initializes the dev field of its
result to its first argument, so this doesn't have to be done in the
calling context.

The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows:

// &lt;smpl&gt;

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include &lt;linux/init.h&gt;.   Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

This covers everything under drivers/net except for wireless, which
has been submitted separately.

This lets the transport do endian conversion if necessary, and insulates
the drivers from the difference.

Most drivers can use the simple helpers virtio_cread() and virtio_cwrite().

"tty-&gt;name" and "name" are a 64 character buffers.  My static checker
complains because we add the "cf" on the front so it look like we are
copying a 66 character string into a 64 character buffer.

Also if the name is larger than IFNAMSIZ (16) it triggers a BUG_ON()
inside the call to alloc_netdev().

This is all under CAP_SYS_ADMIN so it's not a security fix, it just adds
a little robustness.

<title>drivers/net: caif: fix wrong rtnl_is_locked() usage</title>

rtnl_is_locked() doesn't check who holds this lock, it just tells that it's
locked right now. if caif::ldisc_close really can be called under rtrnl_lock
then it should release net device in other context because there is no way
to grab rtnl_lock without deadlock.

This patch adds work which releases these devices. Also this patch fixes calling
dev_close/unregister_netdevice without rtnl_lock from caif_ser_exit().
