Add new helper unregister_netdevice_many_notify(), pass netlink message
header and portid, which could be used to notify userspace when flag
NLM_F_ECHO is set.

Make the unregister_netdevice_many() as a wrapper of new function
unregister_netdevice_many_notify().

This patch pass netlink message header and portid to rtnl_configure_link()
All the functions in this call chain need to add the parameters so we can
use them in the last call rtnl_notify(), and notify the userspace about
the new link info if NLM_F_ECHO flag is set.

- rtnl_configure_link()
  - __dev_notify_flags()
    - rtmsg_ifinfo()
      - rtmsg_ifinfo_event()
        - rtmsg_ifinfo_build_skb()
        - rtmsg_ifinfo_send()
	  - rtnl_notify()

Also move __dev_notify_flags() declaration to net/core/dev.h, as Jakub
suggested.

net: add skb_defer_max sysctl 2022-05-16T10:33:59+00:00 Eric Dumazet edumazet@google.com 2022-05-16T04:24:55+00:00 39564c3fdc6684c6726b63e131d2a9f3809811cb commit 68822bdf76f1 ("net: generalize skb freeing deferral to per-cpu lists") added another per-cpu cache of skbs. It was expected to be small, and an IPI was forced whenever the list reached 128 skbs. We might need to be able to control more precisely queue capacity and added latency. An IPI is generated whenever queue reaches half capacity. Default value of the new limit is 64. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

An IPI is generated whenever queue reaches half capacity.

net: extract a few internals from netdevice.h 2022-04-08T03:32:09+00:00 Jakub Kicinski kuba@kernel.org 2022-04-06T21:37:54+00:00 6264f58ca0e54e41d63c2d00334a48bac28fbf30 There's a number of functions and static variables used under net/core/ but not from the outside. We currently dump most of them into netdevice.h. That bad for many reasons: - netdevice.h is very cluttered, hard to figure out what the APIs are; - netdevice.h is very long; - we have to touch netdevice.h more which causes expensive incremental builds. Create a header under net/core/ and move some declarations. The new header is also a bit of a catch-all but that's fine, if we create more specific headers people will likely over-think where their declaration fit best. And end up putting them in netdevice.h, again. More work should be done on splitting netdevice.h into more targeted headers, but that'd be more time consuming so small steps.
