[ Upstream commit 644c7eebbfd59e72982d11ec6cc7d39af12450ae ]

It seems that rtnl_group_changelink() can call do_setlink
while a prior call to validate_linkmsg(dev = NULL, ...) could
not validate IFLA_ADDRESS / IFLA_BROADCAST

Make sure do_setlink() calls validate_linkmsg() instead
of letting its callers having this responsibility.

With help from Dmitry Vyukov, thanks a lot !

<content type='text'>
Since we've added support for IFLA_IF_NETNSID for RTM_{DEL,GET,SET,NEW}LINK
it is possible for userspace to send us requests with three different
properties to identify a target network namespace. This affects at least
RTM_{NEW,SET}LINK. Each of them could potentially refer to a different
network namespace which is confusing. For legacy reasons the kernel will
pick the IFLA_NET_NS_PID property first and then look for the
IFLA_NET_NS_FD property but there is no reason to extend this type of
behavior to network namespace ids. The regression potential is quite
minimal since the rtnetlink requests in question either won't allow
IFLA_IF_NETNSID requests before 4.16 is out (RTM_{NEW,SET}LINK) or don't
support IFLA_NET_NS_{PID,FD} (RTM_{DEL,GET}LINK) in the first place.

RTM_NEWLINK supports the IFLA_IF_NETNSID property since
5bb8ed075428b71492734af66230aa0c07fcc515 so we should not error out
when it is passed.

<title>rtnetlink: enable IFLA_IF_NETNSID for RTM_NEWLINK</title>

- Backwards Compatibility:
  If userspace wants to determine whether RTM_NEWLINK supports the
  IFLA_IF_NETNSID property they should first send an RTM_GETLINK request
  with IFLA_IF_NETNSID on lo. If either EACCESS is returned or the reply
  does not include IFLA_IF_NETNSID userspace should assume that
  IFLA_IF_NETNSID is not supported on this kernel.
  If the reply does contain an IFLA_IF_NETNSID property userspace
  can send an RTM_NEWLINK with a IFLA_IF_NETNSID property. If they receive
  EOPNOTSUPP then the kernel does not support the IFLA_IF_NETNSID property
  with RTM_NEWLINK. Userpace should then fallback to other means.

- Security:
  Callers must have CAP_NET_ADMIN in the owning user namespace of the
  target network namespace.

  If the reply does contain an IFLA_IF_NETNSID property userspace
  can send an RTM_NEWLINK with a IFLA_IF_NETNSID property. If they receive
  EOPNOTSUPP then the kernel does not support the IFLA_IF_NETNSID property
  with RTM_NEWLINK. Userpace should then fallback to other means.

- Security:
  Callers must have CAP_NET_ADMIN in the owning user namespace of the
  target network namespace.

<title>net: introduce helper dev_change_tx_queue_len()</title>

<id>6a643ddb5624be7e0694d49f5765a8d41c1ab6d0</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch promotes the local change_tx_queue_len() to a core
helper function, dev_change_tx_queue_len(), so that rtnetlink
and net-sysfs could share the code. This also prepares for the
following patch.

Note, the -EFAULT in the original code doesn't make sense,
we should propagate the errno from notifiers.

- Backwards Compatibility:
  If userspace wants to determine whether RTM_DELLINK supports the
  IFLA_IF_NETNSID property they should first send an RTM_GETLINK request
  with IFLA_IF_NETNSID on lo. If either EACCESS is returned or the reply
  does not include IFLA_IF_NETNSID userspace should assume that
  IFLA_IF_NETNSID is not supported on this kernel.
  If the reply does contain an IFLA_IF_NETNSID property userspace
  can send an RTM_DELLINK with a IFLA_IF_NETNSID property. If they receive
  EOPNOTSUPP then the kernel does not support the IFLA_IF_NETNSID property
  with RTM_DELLINK. Userpace should then fallback to other means.

- Backwards Compatibility:
  If userspace wants to determine whether RTM_SETLINK supports the
  IFLA_IF_NETNSID property they should first send an RTM_GETLINK request
  with IFLA_IF_NETNSID on lo. If either EACCESS is returned or the reply
  does not include IFLA_IF_NETNSID userspace should assume that
  IFLA_IF_NETNSID is not supported on this kernel.
  If the reply does contain an IFLA_IF_NETNSID property userspace
  can send an RTM_SETLINK with a IFLA_IF_NETNSID property. If they receive
  EOPNOTSUPP then the kernel does not support the IFLA_IF_NETNSID property
  with RTM_SETLINK. Userpace should then fallback to other means.

  To retain backwards compatibility the kernel will first check whether a
  IFLA_NET_NS_PID or IFLA_NET_NS_FD property has been passed. If either
  one is found it will be used to identify the target network namespace.
  This implies that users who do not care whether their running kernel
  supports IFLA_IF_NETNSID with RTM_SETLINK can pass both
  IFLA_NET_NS_{FD,PID} and IFLA_IF_NETNSID referring to the same network
  namespace.

- Security:
  Callers must have CAP_NET_ADMIN in the owning user namespace of the
  target network namespace.

<title>rtnetlink: enable IFLA_IF_NETNSID in do_setlink()</title>

RTM_{NEW,SET}LINK already allow operations on other network namespaces
by identifying the target network namespace through IFLA_NET_NS_{FD,PID}
properties. This is done by looking for the corresponding properties in
do_setlink(). Extend do_setlink() to also look for the IFLA_IF_NETNSID
property. This introduces no functional changes since all callers of
do_setlink() currently block IFLA_IF_NETNSID by reporting an error before
they reach do_setlink().

This introduces the helpers:

static struct net *rtnl_link_get_net_by_nlattr(struct net *src_net, struct
                                               nlattr *tb[])

static struct net *rtnl_link_get_net_capable(const struct sk_buff *skb,
                                             struct net *src_net,
					     struct nlattr *tb[], int cap)

to simplify permission checks and target network namespace retrieval for
RTM_* requests that already support IFLA_NET_NS_{FD,PID} but get extended
to IFLA_IF_NETNSID. To perserve backwards compatibility the helpers look
for IFLA_NET_NS_{FD,PID} properties first before checking for
IFLA_IF_NETNSID.

Expose the number of times the link has been going UP or DOWN, and
update the "carrier_changes" counter to be the sum of these two events.
While at it, also update the sysfs-class-net documentation to cover:
carrier_changes (3.15), carrier_up_count (4.16) and carrier_down_count
(4.16)
