ppp_exit_net() unregisters devices related to the netns under
RTNL and destroys lists and IDR.

Let's use -&gt;exit_rtnl() for the device unregistration part to
save RTNL dances for each netns.

Note that we delegate the for_each_netdev_safe() part to
default_device_exit_batch() and replace unregister_netdevice_queue()
with ppp_nl_dellink() to align with bond, geneve, gtp, and pfcp.

}

from the skb struct (trimmed)

Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to
a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity
and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching
the header with the helpers).

The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used
in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used
most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.

<title>ppp: use IFF_NO_QUEUE in virtual interfaces</title>

<content type='text'>
For PPPoE, PPTP, and PPPoL2TP, the start_xmit() function directly
forwards packets to the underlying network stack and never returns
anything other than 1. So these interfaces do not require a qdisc,
and the IFF_NO_QUEUE flag should be set.

Introduces a direct_xmit flag in struct ppp_channel to indicate when
IFF_NO_QUEUE should be applied. The flag is set in ppp_connect_channel()
for relevant protocols.

While at it, remove the usused latency member from struct ppp_channel.

<title>ppp: Fix KMSAN uninit-value warning with bpf</title>

<id>4c2d14c40a68678d885eab4008a0129646805bae</id>
<content type='text'>
Syzbot caught an "KMSAN: uninit-value" warning [1], which is caused by the
ppp driver not initializing a 2-byte header when using socket filter.

The following code can generate a PPP filter BPF program:
'''
struct bpf_program fp;
pcap_t *handle;
handle = pcap_open_dead(DLT_PPP_PPPD, 65535);
pcap_compile(handle, &amp;fp, "ip and outbound", 0, 0);
bpf_dump(&amp;fp, 1);
'''
Its output is:
'''
(000) ldh [2]
(001) jeq #0x21 jt 2 jf 5
(002) ldb [0]
(003) jeq #0x1 jt 4 jf 5
(004) ret #65535
(005) ret #0
'''
Wen can find similar code at the following link:
https://github.com/ppp-project/ppp/blob/master/pppd/options.c#L1680
The maintainer of this code repository is also the original maintainer
of the ppp driver.

As you can see the BPF program skips 2 bytes of data and then reads the
'Protocol' field to determine if it's an IP packet. Then it read the first
byte of the first 2 bytes to determine the direction.

The issue is that only the first byte indicating direction is initialized
in current ppp driver code while the second byte is not initialized.

For normal BPF programs generated by libpcap, uninitialized data won't be
used, so it's not a problem. However, for carefully crafted BPF programs,
such as those generated by syzkaller [2], which start reading from offset
0, the uninitialized data will be used and caught by KMSAN.

<title>rtnetlink: Pack newlink() params into struct</title>

<id>69c7be1b903fca2835e80ec506bd1d75ce84fb4d</id>
<content type='text'>
There are 4 net namespaces involved when creating links:

 - source netns - where the netlink socket resides,
 - target netns - where to put the device being created,
 - link netns - netns associated with the device (backend),
 - peer netns - netns of peer device.

Currently, two nets are passed to newlink() callback - "src_net"
parameter and "dev_net" (implicitly in net_device). They are set as
follows, depending on netlink attributes in the request.

 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
 | peer netns | IFLA_LINK_NETNSID | src_net | dev_net |
 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | absent            | source  | target  |
 | absent     +-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | present           | link    | link    |
 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | absent            | peer    | target  |
 | present    +-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | present           | peer    | link    |
 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+

When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is present, the device is created in link netns
first and then moved to target netns. This has some side effects,
including extra ifindex allocation, ifname validation and link events.
These could be avoided if we create it in target netns from
the beginning.

On the other hand, the meaning of src_net parameter is ambiguous. It
varies depending on how parameters are passed. It is the effective
link (or peer netns) by design, but some drivers ignore it and use
dev_net instead.

To provide more netns context for drivers, this patch packs existing
newlink() parameters, along with the source netns, link netns and peer
netns, into a struct. The old "src_net" is renamed to "net" to avoid
confusion with real source netns, and will be deprecated later. The use
of src_net are converted to params-&gt;net trivially.

parameter and "dev_net" (implicitly in net_device). They are set as
follows, depending on netlink attributes in the request.

 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
 | peer netns | IFLA_LINK_NETNSID | src_net | dev_net |
 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | absent            | source  | target  |
 | absent     +-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | present           | link    | link    |
 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | absent            | peer    | target  |
 | present    +-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | present           | peer    | link    |
 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+

When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is present, the device is created in link netns
first and then moved to target netns. This has some side effects,
including extra ifindex allocation, ifname validation and link events.
These could be avoided if we create it in target netns from
the beginning.

On the other hand, the meaning of src_net parameter is ambiguous. It
varies depending on how parameters are passed. It is the effective
link (or peer netns) by design, but some drivers ignore it and use
dev_net instead.

To provide more netns context for drivers, this patch packs existing
newlink() parameters, along with the source netns, link netns and peer
netns, into a struct. The old "src_net" is renamed to "net" to avoid
confusion with real source netns, and will be deprecated later. The use
of src_net are converted to params-&gt;net trivially.

syzbot reported an issue in ppp_async_encode() [1]

In this case, pppoe_sendmsg() is called with a zero size.
Then ppp_async_encode() is called with an empty skb.
