[ Upstream commit 23f00807619d15063d676218f36c5dfeda1eb420 ]

Commit 30aad41721e0 ("net/core: Add support for getting VF GUIDs")
added support for getting VF port and node GUIDs in netlink ifinfo
messages, but their size was not taken into consideration in the
function that allocates the netlink message, causing the following
warning when a netlink message is filled with many VF port and node
GUIDs:
 # echo 64 &gt; /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:08\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
 # ip link show dev ib0
 RTNETLINK answers: Message too long
 Cannot send link get request: Message too long

commit 1438f5d07b9a7afb15e1d0e26df04a6fd4e56a3c upstream.

A call to rtnl_nets_destroy() is needed to release references taken on

<title>rtnetlink: Try the outer netns attribute in rtnl_get_peer_net().</title>

Xiao Liang reported that the cited commit changed netns handling
in newlink() of netkit, veth, and vxcan.

Before the patch, if we don't find a netns attribute in the peer
device attributes, we tried to find another netns attribute in
the outer netlink attributes by passing it to rtnl_link_get_net().

Let's restore the original behaviour.

Currently rtnl_link_get_net_ifla() gets called twice when we create
peer devices, once in rtnl_add_peer_net() and once in each -&gt;newlink()
implementation.

This looks safer, however, it leads to a classic Time-of-Check to
Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) bug since IFLA_NET_NS_PID is very dynamic. And
because of the lack of checking error pointer of the second call, it
also leads to a kernel crash as reported by syzbot.

Fix this by getting rid of the second call, which already becomes
redudant after Kuniyuki's work. We have to propagate the result of the
first rtnl_link_get_net_ifla() down to each -&gt;newlink().

Currently when FDB entries are added to or deleted from a VXLAN netdevice,
the VXLAN driver emits one notification, including the VXLAN-specific
attributes. The core however always sends a notification as well, a generic
one. Thus two notifications are unnecessarily sent for these operations. A
similar situation comes up with bridge driver, which also emits
notifications on its own:

 # ip link add name vx type vxlan id 1000 dstport 4789
 # bridge monitor fdb &amp;
 [1] 1981693
 # bridge fdb add de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx self dst 192.0.2.1
 de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx dst 192.0.2.1 self permanent
 de:ad:be:ef:13:37 dev vx self permanent

In order to prevent this duplicity, add a paremeter to ndo_fdb_add,
bool *notified. The flag is primed to false, and if the callee sends a
notification on its own, it sets it to true, thus informing the core that
it should not generate another notification.

<title>rtnetlink: Register rtnl_dellink() and rtnl_setlink() with RTNL_FLAG_DOIT_PERNET_WIP.</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently, rtnl_setlink() and rtnl_dellink() cannot be fully converted
to per-netns RTNL due to a lack of handling peer/lower/upper devices in
different netns.

For example, when we change a device in rtnl_setlink() and need to
propagate that to its upper devices, we want to avoid acquiring all netns
locks, for which we do not know the upper limit.

The same situation happens when we remove a device.

rtnl_dellink() could be transformed to remove a single device in the
requested netns and delegate other devices to per-netns work, and
rtnl_setlink() might be ?

Until we come up with a better idea, let's use a new flag
RTNL_FLAG_DOIT_PERNET_WIP for rtnl_dellink() and rtnl_setlink().

This will unblock converting RTNL users where such devices are not related.

Now, we are ready to convert rtnl_newlink() to per-netns RTNL;
rtnl_link_ops is protected by SRCU and netns is prefetched in
rtnl_newlink().

Let's register rtnl_newlink() with RTNL_FLAG_DOIT_PERNET and
push RTNL down as rtnl_nets_lock().
