[ Upstream commit a100243d95a60d74ae9bb9df1f5f2192e9aed6a7 ]

When we call af_ops-&gt;set_link_af() we hold a RCU read lock
as we retrieve af_ops from the RCU protected list, but this
is unnecessary because we already hold RTNL lock, which is
the writer lock for protecting rtnl_af_ops, so it is safer
than RCU read lock. Similar for af_ops-&gt;validate_link_af().

This was not a problem until we begin to take mutex lock
down the path of -&gt;set_link_af() in __ipv6_dev_mc_dec()
recently. We can just drop the RCU read lock there and
assert RTNL lock.

<title>rtnetlink: Fix regression in bridge VLAN configuration</title>

Cited commit started returning errors when notification info is not
filled by the bridge driver, resulting in the following regression:

 # ip link add name br1 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
 # bridge vlan add dev br1 vid 555 self pvid untagged
 RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

As long as the bridge driver does not fill notification info for the
bridge device itself, an empty notification should not be considered as
an error. This is explained in commit 59ccaaaa49b5 ("bridge: dont send
notification when skb-&gt;len == 0 in rtnl_bridge_notify").

Fix by removing the error and add a comment to avoid future bugs.

Setting iftoken can fail for several different reasons but there
and there was no report to user as to the cause. Add netlink
extended errors to the processing of the request.

This requires adding additional argument through rtnl_af_ops
set_link_af callback.

Here is only one place where we want to specify new_ifindex. In all
other cases, callers pass 0 as new_ifindex. It looks reasonable to add a
low-level function with new_ifindex and to convert
dev_change_net_namespace to a static inline wrapper.

Currently, we can specify ifindex on link creation. This change allows
to specify ifindex when a device is moved to another network namespace.

Even now, a device ifindex can be changed if there is another device
with the same ifindex in the target namespace. So this change doesn't
introduce completely new behavior, it adds more control to the process.

CRIU users want to restore containers with pre-created network devices.
A user will provide network devices and instructions where they have to
be restored, then CRIU will restore network namespaces and move devices
into them. The problem is that devices have to be restored with the same
indexes that they have before C/R.

<title>net: fix dev_ifsioc_locked() race condition</title>

dev_ifsioc_locked() is called with only RCU read lock, so when
there is a parallel writer changing the mac address, it could
get a partially updated mac address, as shown below:

Thread 1			Thread 2
// eth_commit_mac_addr_change()
memcpy(dev-&gt;dev_addr, addr-&gt;sa_data, ETH_ALEN);
				// dev_ifsioc_locked()
				memcpy(ifr-&gt;ifr_hwaddr.sa_data,
					dev-&gt;dev_addr,...);

Close this race condition by guarding them with a RW semaphore,
like netdev_get_name(). We can not use seqlock here as it does not
allow blocking. The writers already take RTNL anyway, so this does
not affect the slow path. To avoid bothering existing
dev_set_mac_address() callers in drivers, introduce a new wrapper
just for user-facing callers on ioctl and rtnetlink paths.

Note, bonding also changes slave mac addresses but that requires
a separate patch due to the complexity of bonding code.
