This patch adds a new sysfs attribute to the network device class.
Said attribute provides a per-device control to enable/disable the
threaded mode for all the napi instances of the given network device,
without the need for a device up/down.
User sets it to 1 or 0 to enable or disable threaded mode.
Note: when switching between threaded and the current softirq based mode
for a napi instance, it will not immediately take effect if the napi is
currently being polled. The mode switch will happen for the next time
napi_schedule() is called.

<title>net-sysfs: Add rtnl locking for getting Tx queue traffic class</title>

In order to access the suboordinate dev for a device we should be holding
the rtnl_lock when outside of the transmit path. The existing code was not
doing that for the sysfs dump function and as a result we were open to a
possible race.

To resolve that take the rtnl lock prior to accessing the sb_dev field of
the Tx queue and release it after we have retrieved the tc for the queue.

Accesses to dev-&gt;xps_rxqs_map (when using dev-&gt;num_tc) should be
protected by the rtnl lock, like we do for netif_set_xps_queue. I didn't
see an actual bug being triggered, but let's be safe here and take the
rtnl lock while accessing the map in sysfs.

<title>net-sysfs: take the rtnl lock when storing xps_rxqs</title>

Two race conditions can be triggered when storing xps rxqs, resulting in
various oops and invalid memory accesses:

1. Calling netdev_set_num_tc while netif_set_xps_queue:

   - netif_set_xps_queue uses dev-&gt;tc_num as one of the parameters to
     compute the size of new_dev_maps when allocating it. dev-&gt;tc_num is
     also used to access the map, and the compiler may generate code to
     retrieve this field multiple times in the function.

   - netdev_set_num_tc sets dev-&gt;tc_num.

   If new_dev_maps is allocated using dev-&gt;tc_num and then dev-&gt;tc_num
   is set to a higher value through netdev_set_num_tc, later accesses to
   new_dev_maps in netif_set_xps_queue could lead to accessing memory
   outside of new_dev_maps; triggering an oops.

2. Calling netif_set_xps_queue while netdev_set_num_tc is running:

   2.1. netdev_set_num_tc starts by resetting the xps queues,
        dev-&gt;tc_num isn't updated yet.

   2.2. netif_set_xps_queue is called, setting up the map with the
        *old* dev-&gt;num_tc.

   2.3. netdev_set_num_tc updates dev-&gt;tc_num.

   2.4. Later accesses to the map lead to out of bound accesses and
        oops.

   A similar issue can be found with netdev_reset_tc.

One way of triggering this is to set an iface up (for which the driver
uses netdev_set_num_tc in the open path, such as bnx2x) and writing to
xps_rxqs in a concurrent thread. With the right timing an oops is
triggered.

Both issues have the same fix: netif_set_xps_queue, netdev_set_num_tc
and netdev_reset_tc should be mutually exclusive. We do that by taking
the rtnl lock in xps_rxqs_store.

     Namespaces may of course have additional unrelated counters and

     into my branch and into -next before df561f6688fe ("treewide: Use

Switch over network namespaces to use the newly introduced common lifetime
counter.
Network namespaces have an additional counter named "passive". This counter
does not guarantee that the network namespace is not already de-initialized
and so isn't concerned with the actual lifetime of the network namespace;
only the "count" counter is. So the latter is moved into struct ns_common.

Currently every namespace type has its own lifetime counter which is stored
in the specific namespace struct. The lifetime counters are used
identically for all namespaces types. Namespaces may of course have
additional unrelated counters and these are not altered.

This introduces a common lifetime counter into struct ns_common. The
ns_common struct encompasses information that all namespaces share. That
should include the lifetime counter since its common for all of them.

It also allows us to unify the type of the counters across all namespaces.
Most of them use refcount_t but one uses atomic_t and at least one uses
kref. Especially the last one doesn't make much sense since it's just a
wrapper around refcount_t since 2016 and actually complicates cleanup
operations by having to use container_of() to cast the correct namespace
struct out of struct ns_common.

Having the lifetime counter for the namespaces in one place reduces
maintenance cost. Not just because after switching all namespaces over we
will have removed more code than we added but also because the logic is
more easily understandable and we indicate to the user that the basic
lifetime requirements for all namespaces are currently identical.

We must accept an empty mask in store_rps_map(), or we are not able
to disable RPS on a queue.
