Use bitmap_zalloc() and bitmap_free() instead of hand-writing them.
It is less verbose and it improves the type checking and semantic.

While at it, add missing header inclusion (should be bitops.h,
but with the above change it becomes bitmap.h).

<title>net: Make consumed action consistent in sch_handle_egress</title>

<content type='text'>
While looking at TC_ACT_* handling, the TC_ACT_CONSUMED is only handled in
sch_handle_ingress but not sch_handle_egress. This was added via cd11b164073b
("net/tc: introduce TC_ACT_REINSERT.") and e5cf1baf92cb ("act_mirred: use
TC_ACT_REINSERT when possible") and later got renamed into TC_ACT_CONSUMED
via 720f22fed81b ("net: sched: refactor reinsert action").

The initial work was targeted for ovs back then and only needed on ingress,
and the mirred action module also restricts it to only that. However, given
it's an API contract it would still make sense to make this consistent to
sch_handle_ingress and handle it on egress side in the same way, that is,
setting return code to "success" and returning NULL back to the caller as
otherwise an action module sitting on egress returning TC_ACT_CONSUMED could
lead to an UAF when untreated.

  tc filter add dev eth0 egress protocol ip prio 1 u32 match ip protocol 1 0xff action mirred egress redirect dev dummy0
  ping 1.1.1.1
  &lt;stolen&gt;

After the fix, there are no kmemleak reports with the reproducer. This is
in line with what is also done on the ingress side, and from debugging the
skb_unref(skb) on dummy xmit and sch_handle_egress() side, it is visible
that these are two different skbs with both skb_unref(skb) as true. The two
seen skbs are due to mirred doing a skb_clone() internally as use_reinsert
is false in tcf_mirred_act() for egress. This was initially reported by Gal.

<title>net: warn about attempts to register negative ifindex</title>

Since the xarray changes we mix returning valid ifindex and negative
errno in a single int returned from dev_index_reserve(). This depends
on the fact that ifindexes can't be negative. Otherwise we may insert
into the xarray and return a very large negative value. This in turn
may break ERR_PTR().

OvS is susceptible to this problem and lacking validation (fix posted
separately for net).

Reject negative ifindex explicitly. Add a warning because the input
validation is better handled by the caller.

struct netdev_rx_queue is touched in only a few places
and having it defined in netdevice.h brings in the dependency
on xdp.h, because struct xdp_rxq_info gets embedded in
struct netdev_rx_queue.

In prep for removal of xdp.h from netdevice.h move all
the netdev_rx_queue stuff to a new header.

We could technically break the new header up to avoid
the sysfs.h include but it's so rarely included it
doesn't seem to be worth it at this point.

When error happens in dev_xdp_attach(), it should have a way to tell
users the error message like the netlink approach.

To avoid breaking uapi, adding a tracepoint in bpf_xdp_link_attach() is
an appropriate way to notify users the error message.

Hence, bpf libraries are able to retrieve the error message by this
tracepoint, and then report the error message to users.

Instead of allocating from 1 use proper xa_init flag,
to protect ourselves from IDs wrapping back to 0.

Iterating over the netdev hash table for netlink dumps is hard.
Dumps are done in "chunks" so we need to save the position
after each chunk, so we know where to restart from. Because
netdevs are stored in a hash table we remember which bucket
we were in and how many devices we dumped.

Since we don't hold any locks across the "chunks" - devices may
come and go while we're dumping. If that happens we may miss
a device (if device is deleted from the bucket we were in).
We indicate to user space that this may have happened by setting
NLM_F_DUMP_INTR. User space is supposed to dump again (I think)
if it sees that. Somehow I doubt most user space gets this right..

To illustrate let's look at an example:

               System state:
  start:       # [A, B, C]
  del:  B      # [A, C]

with the hash table we may dump [A, B], missing C completely even
tho it existed both before and after the "del B".

Add an xarray and use it to allocate ifindexes. This way we
can iterate ifindexes in order, without the worry that we'll
skip one. We may still generate a dump of a state which "never
existed", for example for a set of values and sequence of ops:

               System state:
  start:       # [A, B]
  add:  C      # [A, C, B]
  del:  B      # [A, C]

we may generate a dump of [A], if C got an index between A and B.
System has never been in such state. But I'm 90% sure that's perfectly
fine, important part is that we can't _miss_ devices which exist before
and after. User space which wants to mirror kernel's state subscribes
to notifications and does periodic dumps so it will know that C exists
from the notification about its creation or from the next dump
(next dump is _guaranteed_ to include C, if it doesn't get removed).

To avoid any perf regressions keep the hash table for now. Most
net namespaces have very few devices and microbenchmarking 1M lookups
on Skylake I get the following results (not counting loopback
to number of devs):

 #devs | hash |  xa  | delta
    2  | 18.3 | 20.1 | + 9.8%
   16  | 18.3 | 20.1 | + 9.5%
   64  | 18.3 | 26.3 | +43.8%
  128  | 20.4 | 26.3 | +28.6%
  256  | 20.0 | 26.4 | +32.1%
 1024  | 26.6 | 26.7 | + 0.2%
 8192  |541.3 | 33.5 | -93.8%

No surprises since the hash table has 256 entries.
The microbenchmark scans indexes in order, if the pattern is more
random xa starts to win at 512 devices already. But that's a lot
of devices, in practice.

<title>net: remove redundant NULL check in remove_xps_queue()</title>

There are currently two paths that call remove_xps_queue():
1. __netif_set_xps_queue -&gt; remove_xps_queue
2. clean_xps_maps -&gt; remove_xps_queue_cpu -&gt; remove_xps_queue
There is no need to check dev_maps in remove_xps_queue() because
dev_maps has been checked on these two paths.
