We had to add another synchronize_rcu() in recent fix.
Bite the bullet and add an rcu_head to netdev_name_node,
free from RCU.

Note that name_node does not hold any reference on dev
to which it points, but there must be a synchronize_rcu()
on device removal path, so we should be fine.

Mark reports a BUG() when a net namespace is removed.

    kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:11520!

Physical interfaces moved outside of init_net get "refunded"
to init_net when that namespace disappears. The main interface
name may get overwritten in the process if it would have
conflicted. We need to also discard all conflicting altnames.
Recent fixes addressed ensuring that altnames get moved
with the main interface, which surfaced this problem.

<title>net: core: synchronize link-watch when carrier is queried</title>

There are multiple ways to query for the carrier state: through
rtnetlink, sysfs, and (possibly) ethtool. Synchronize linkwatch
work before these operations so that we don't have a situation
where userspace queries the carrier state between the driver's
carrier off-&gt;on transition and linkwatch running and expects it
to work, when really (at least) TX cannot work until linkwatch
has run.

I previously posted a longer explanation of how this applies to
wireless [1] but with this wireless can simply query the state
before sending data, to ensure the kernel is ready for it.

a total of 75 files changed, 5037 insertions(+), 200 deletions(-).

The main changes are:

1) Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support.
   One of the use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF,
   from Chuyi Zhou.

2) Fix BPF verifier's iterator convergence logic to use exact states
   comparison for convergence checks, from Eduard Zingerman,
   Andrii Nakryiko and Alexei Starovoitov.

   of its xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode,
   from Daniel Borkmann and Nikolay Aleksandrov.

4) Batch of fixes for BPF per-CPU kptr and re-enable unit_size checking
   for global per-CPU allocator, from Hou Tao.

5) Fix libbpf which eagerly assumed that SHT_GNU_verdef ELF section
   was going to be present whenever a binary has SHT_GNU_versym section,
   from Andrii Nakryiko.

6) Fix BPF ringbuf correctness to fold smp_mb__before_atomic() into
   atomic_set_release(), from Paul E. McKenney.

7) Add a warning if NAPI callback missed xdp_do_flush() under
   CONFIG_DEBUG_NET which helps checking if drivers were missing
   the former, from Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.

8) Fix missed RCU read-lock in bpf_task_under_cgroup() which was throwing
   a warning under sleepable programs, from Yafang Shao.

9) Avoid unnecessary -EBUSY from htab_lock_bucket by disabling IRQ before
   checking map_locked, from Song Liu.

10) Make BPF CI linked_list failure test more robust,
    from Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi.

11) Enable samples/bpf to be built as PIE in Fedora, from Viktor Malik.

12) Fix xsk starving when multiple xsk sockets were associated with
    a single xsk_buff_pool, from Albert Huang.

13) Clarify the signed modulo implementation for the BPF ISA standardization
    document that it uses truncated division, from Dave Thaler.

14) Improve BPF verifier's JEQ/JNE branch taken logic to also consider
    signed bounds knowledge, from Andrii Nakryiko.

15) Add an option to XDP selftests to use multi-buffer AF_XDP
    xdp_hw_metadata and mark used XDP programs as capable to use frags,
    from Larysa Zaremba.

16) Fix bpftool's BTF dumper wrt printing a pointer value and another
    one to fix struct_ops dump in an array, from Manu Bretelle.

It's currently possible to create an altname conflicting
with an altname or real name of another device by creating
it in another netns and moving it over:

 [ ~]$ ip link add dev eth0 type dummy

 [ ~]$ ip netns add test
 [ ~]$ ip -netns test link add dev ethX netns test type dummy
 [ ~]$ ip -netns test link property add dev ethX altname eth0
 [ ~]$ ip -netns test link set dev ethX netns 1

 [ ~]$ ip link
 ...
 3: eth0: &lt;BROADCAST,NOARP&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
     link/ether 02:40:88:62:ec:b8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
 ...
 5: ethX: &lt;BROADCAST,NOARP&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
     link/ether 26:b7:28:78:38:0f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
     altname eth0

Create a macro for walking the altnames, this hopefully makes
it clearer that the list we walk contains only altnames.
Which is otherwise not entirely intuitive.

Fixes: 36fbf1e52bd3 ("net: rtnetlink: add linkprop commands to add and delete alternative ifnames")

<title>net, bpf: Add a warning if NAPI cb missed xdp_do_flush().</title>

A few drivers were missing a xdp_do_flush() invocation after
XDP_REDIRECT.

Add three helper functions each for one of the per-CPU lists. Return
true if the per-CPU list is non-empty and flush the list.

Add xdp_do_check_flushed() which invokes each helper functions and
creates a warning if one of the functions had a non-empty list.

Hide everything behind CONFIG_DEBUG_NET.
