dev_base_lock is going away, add netdev_set_operstate() helper
so that hsr does not have to know core internals.

Remove dev_base_lock acquisition from rfc2863_policy()

v3: use an "unsigned int" for dev-&gt;operstate,
    so that try_cmpxchg() can work on all arches.

operstate_show() can omit dev_base_lock acquisition only
to read dev-&gt;operstate.

Annotate accesses to dev-&gt;operstate.

Writers still acquire dev_base_lock for mutual exclusion.

This reverts commit b8dbbbc535a9 ("net: rtnetlink: remove local list
in __linkwatch_run_queue()"). It's evidently broken when there's a
non-urgent work that gets added back, and then the loop can never
finish.

While reverting, add a note about that.

Due to linkwatch_forget_dev() (and perhaps others?) checking for
list_empty(&amp;dev-&gt;link_watch_list), we must have all manipulations
of even the local on-stack list 'wrk' here under spinlock, since
even that list can be reached otherwise via dev-&gt;link_watch_list.

This is already the case, but makes this a bit counter-intuitive,
often local lists are used to _not_ have to use locking for their
local use.

Remove the local list as it doesn't seem to serve any purpose.
While at it, move a variable declaration into the loop using it.

<title>net: core: synchronize link-watch when carrier is queried</title>

There are multiple ways to query for the carrier state: through
rtnetlink, sysfs, and (possibly) ethtool. Synchronize linkwatch
work before these operations so that we don't have a situation
where userspace queries the carrier state between the driver's
carrier off-&gt;on transition and linkwatch running and expects it
to work, when really (at least) TX cannot work until linkwatch
has run.

I previously posted a longer explanation of how this applies to
wireless [1] but with this wireless can simply query the state
before sending data, to ensure the kernel is ready for it.

<title>net: linkwatch: only report IF_OPER_LOWERLAYERDOWN if iflink is actually down</title>

RFC 2863 says:

   The lowerLayerDown state is also a refinement on the down state.
   This new state indicates that this interface runs "on top of" one or
   more other interfaces (see ifStackTable) and that this interface is
   down specifically because one or more of these lower-layer interfaces
   are down.

DSA interfaces are virtual network devices, stacked on top of the DSA
master, but they have a physical MAC, with a PHY that reports a real
link status.

But since DSA (perhaps improperly) uses an iflink to describe the
relationship to its master since commit c084080151e1 ("dsa: set -&gt;iflink
on slave interfaces to the ifindex of the parent"), default_operstate()
will misinterpret this to mean that every time the carrier of a DSA
interface is not ok, it is because of the master being not ok.

In fact, since commit c0a8a9c27493 ("net: dsa: automatically bring user
ports down when master goes down"), DSA cannot even in theory be in the
lowerLayerDown state, because it just calls dev_close_many(), thereby
going down, when the master goes down.

We could revert the commit that creates an iflink between a DSA user
port and its master, especially since now we have an alternative
IFLA_DSA_MASTER which has less side effects. But there may be tooling in
use which relies on the iflink, which has existed since 2009.

We could also probably do something local within DSA to overwrite what
rfc2863_policy() did, in a way similar to hsr_set_operstate(), but this
seems like a hack.

What seems appropriate is to follow the iflink, and check the carrier
status of that interface as well. If that's down too, yes, keep
reporting lowerLayerDown, otherwise just down.

Netdev reference helpers have a dev_ prefix for historic
reasons. Renaming the old helpers would be too much churn
but we can rename the tracking ones which are relatively
recent and should be the default for new code.

Rename:
 dev_hold_track()    -&gt; netdev_hold()
 dev_put_track()     -&gt; netdev_put()
 dev_replace_track() -&gt; netdev_ref_replace()

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.

We are still chasing some syzbot reports where we think a rogue dev_put()
is called with no corresponding prior dev_hold().
Unfortunately it eats a reference on dev-&gt;dev_refcnt taken by innocent
dev_hold_track(), meaning that the refcount saturation splat comes
too late to be useful.

Make sure that 'not tracked' dev_put() and dev_hold() better use
CONFIG_NET_DEV_REFCNT_TRACKER=y debug infrastructure:

Prior patch in the series allowed ref_tracker_alloc() and ref_tracker_free()
to be called with a NULL @trackerp parameter, and to use a separate refcount
only to detect too many put() even in the following case:

dev_hold_track(dev, tracker_1, GFP_ATOMIC);
 dev_hold(dev);
 dev_put(dev);
 dev_put(dev); // Should complain loudly here.
dev_put_track(dev, tracker_1); // instead of here

Add clarification about netdev_tracker_alloc() role.

v2: I replaced the dev_put() in linkwatch_do_dev()
    with __dev_put() because callers called netdev_tracker_free().

Apparently a concurrent linkwatch_add_event() could
run while we are in __linkwatch_run_queue().

We need to free dev-&gt;linkwatch_dev_tracker tracker
under lweventlist_lock protection to avoid this race.
