[ Upstream commit 024ee930cb3c9ae49e4266aee89cfde0ebb407e1 ]

Traffic redirected by bpf_redirect_peer() (used by recent CNIs like Cilium)
is not accounted for in the RX stats of supported devices (that is, veth
and netkit), confusing user space metrics collectors such as cAdvisor [0],
as reported by Youlun.

Fix it by calling dev_sw_netstats_rx_add() in skb_do_redirect(), to update
RX traffic counters. Devices that support ndo_get_peer_dev _must_ use the
@tstats per-CPU counters (instead of @lstats, or @dstats).

To make this more fool-proof, error out when ndo_get_peer_dev is set but
@tstats are not selected.

  [0] Specifically, the "container_network_receive_{byte,packet}s_total"
      counters are affected.

Move {l,t,d}stats allocation to the core and let netdevs pick the stats
type they need. That way the driver doesn't have to bother with error
handling (allocation failure checking, making sure free happens in the
right spot, etc) - all happening in the core.

[ Upstream commit c4eee56e14fe001e1cff54f0b438a5e2d0dd7454 ]

Assume that caller's 'to' offset really represents an upper boundary for
the pattern search, so patterns extending past this offset are to be
rejected.

The old behaviour also was kind of inconsistent when it comes to
fragmentation (or otherwise non-linear skbs): If the pattern started in
between 'to' and 'from' offsets but extended to the next fragment, it
was not found if 'to' offset was still within the current fragment.

Test the new behaviour in a kselftest using iptables' string match.

Altnames are accessed under RCU (dev_get_by_name_rcu())
but freed by kfree() with no synchronization point.

Each node has one or two allocations (node and a variable-size
name, sometimes the name is netdev-&gt;name). Adding rcu_heads
here is a bit tedious. Besides most code which unlists the names
already has rcu barriers - so take the simpler approach of adding
synchronize_rcu(). Note that the one on the unregistration path
(which matters more) is removed by the next fix.

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 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

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.

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

<title>net: fix ifname in netlink ntf during netns move</title>

dev_get_valid_name() overwrites the netdev's name on success.
This makes it hard to use in prepare-commit-like fashion,
where we do validation first, and "commit" to the change
later.

Factor out a helper which lets us save the new name to a buffer.
Use it to fix the problem of notification on netns move having
incorrect name:

 5: eth0: &lt;BROADCAST,NOARP&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default
     link/ether be:4d:58:f9:d5:40 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
 6: eth1: &lt;BROADCAST,NOARP&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default
     link/ether 1e:4a:34:36:e3:cd brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

 [ ~]# ip link set dev eth0 netns 1 name eth1

ip monitor inside netns:
 Deleted inet eth0
 Deleted inet6 eth0
 Deleted 5: eth1: &lt;BROADCAST,NOARP&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default
     link/ether be:4d:58:f9:d5:40 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff new-netnsid 0 new-ifindex 7

Name is reported as eth1 in old netns for ifindex 5, already renamed.
