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.

The name 'netns_local' is confusing. A following commit will export it via netlink, so let's use a more explicit name.

When link_net is set, use it as link netns instead of dev_net(). This prepares for rtnetlink core to create device in target netns directly, in which case the two namespaces may be different.

Currently some IPv6 tunnel drivers set tnl->net to dev_net(dev) in ndo_init(), which is called in register_netdevice(). However, it lacks the context of link-netns when we enable cross-net tunnels at device registration time. Let's move the init of tunnel link-netns before register_netdevice(). ip6_gre has already initialized netns, so just remove the redundant assignment.

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->net trivially.

The function calls flowi4_init_output() to initialize an IPv4 flow key with which it then performs a FIB lookup using ip_route_output_flow().

Historically, tunnel flags like TUNNEL_CSUM or TUNNEL_ERSPAN_OPT have been defined as __be16. Now all of those 16 bits are occupied and there's no more free space for new flags. It can't be simply switched to a bigger container with no adjustments to the values, since it's an explicit Endian storage, and on LE systems (__be16)0x0001 equals to (__be64)0x0001000000000000. We could probably define new 64-bit flags depending on the Endianness, i.e. (__be64)0x0001 on BE and (__be64)0x00010000... on LE, but that would introduce an Endianness dependency and spawn a ton of Sparse warnings. To mitigate them, all of those places which were adjusted with this change would be touched anyway, so why not define stuff properly if there's no choice. Define IP_TUNNEL_*_BIT counterparts as a bit number instead of the value already coded and a fistful of <16 <-> bitmap> converters and helpers. The two flags which have a different bit position are SIT_ISATAP_BIT and VTI_ISVTI_BIT, as they were defined not as __cpu_to_be16(), but as (__force __be16), i.e. had different positions on LE and BE. Now they both have strongly defined places. Change all __be16 fields which were used to store those flags, to IP_TUNNEL_DECLARE_FLAGS() -> DECLARE_BITMAP(__IP_TUNNEL_FLAG_NUM) -> unsigned long[1] for now, and replace all TUNNEL_* occurrences to their bitmap counterparts. Use the converters in the places which talk to the userspace, hardware (NFP) or other hosts (GRE header). The rest must explicitly use the new flags only. This must be done at once, otherwise there will be too many conversions throughout the code in the intermediate commits. Finally, disable the old __be16 flags for use in the kernel code (except for the two 'irregular' flags mentioned above), to prevent any accidental (mis)use of them. For the userspace, nothing is changed, only additions were made. Most noticeable bloat-o-meter difference (.text): vmlinux: 307/-1 (306) gre.ko: 62/0 (62) ip_gre.ko: 941/-217 (724) [*] ip_tunnel.ko: 390/-900 (-510) [**] ip_vti.ko: 138/0 (138) ip6_gre.ko: 534/-18 (516) [*] ip6_tunnel.ko: 118/-10 (108) [*] gre_flags_to_tnl_flags() grew, but still is inlined [**] ip_tunnel_find() got uninlined, hence such decrease The average code size increase in non-extreme case is 100-200 bytes per module, mostly due to sizeof(long) > sizeof(__be16), as %__IP_TUNNEL_FLAG_NUM is less than %BITS_PER_LONG and the compilers are able to expand the majority of bitmap_*() calls here into direct operations on scalars.
