The next patch will add init_srcu_struct() in rtnl_af_register(),
then we need to handle its error.

Let's add the error handling in advance to make the following
patch cleaner.

<title>neighbour: Remove NEIGH_DN_TABLE.</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 1202cdd66531 ("Remove DECnet support from kernel"),
NEIGH_DN_TABLE is no longer used.

MPLS has implicit dependency on it in nla_put_via(), but nla_get_via()
does not support DECnet.

Let's remove NEIGH_DN_TABLE.

Now, neigh_tables[] has only 2 elements and no extra iteration
for DECnet in many places.

<title>mpls: Handle error of rtnl_register_module().</title>

Since introduced, mpls_init() has been ignoring the returned
value of rtnl_register_module(), which could fail silently.

Handling the error allows users to view a module as an all-or-nothing
thing in terms of the rtnetlink functionality.  This prevents syzkaller
from reporting spurious errors from its tests, where OOM often occurs
and module is automatically loaded.

Let's handle the errors by rtnl_register_many().

The initial value of err is -ENOBUFS, and err is guaranteed to be
less than 0 before all goto errout. Therefore, on the error path
of errout, there is no need to repeatedly judge that err is less than 0,
and delete redundant judgments to make the code more concise.

<title>mpls: Reduce skb re-allocations due to skb_cow()</title>

mpls_xmit() needs to prepend the MPLS-labels to the packet. That implies
one needs to make sure there is enough space for it in the headers.

Calling skb_cow() implies however that one wants to change even the
playload part of the packet (which is not true for MPLS). Thus, call
skb_cow_head() instead, which is what other tunnelling protocols do.

Running a server with this comm it entirely removed the calls to
pskb_expand_head() from the callstack in mpls_xmit() thus having
significant CPU-reduction, especially at peak times.

<title>net: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array</title>

<content type='text'>
This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

* Remove sentinel element from ctl_table structs.
* Remove the zeroing out of an array element (to make it look like a
  sentinel) in neigh_sysctl_register and lowpan_frags_ns_sysctl_register
  This is not longer needed and is safe after commit c899710fe7f9
  ("networking: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz") added the array size
  to the ctl_table registration.
* Replace the for loop stop condition in sysctl_core_net_init that tests
  for procname == NULL with one that depends on array size
* Removed the "-1" in mpls_net_init that adjusted for having an extra
  empty element when looping over ctl_table arrays
* Use a table_size variable to keep the value of ARRAY_SIZE

I added dst_rt6_info() in commit
e8dfd42c17fa ("ipv6: introduce dst_rt6_info() helper")

This patch does a similar change for IPv4.

Instead of (struct rtable *)dst casts, we can use :

 #define dst_rtable(_ptr) \
             container_of_const(_ptr, struct rtable, dst)

Patch is smaller than IPv6 one, because IPv4 has skb_rtable() helper.

<content type='text'>
To be able to constify instances of struct ctl_tables it is necessary to
remove ways through which non-const versions are exposed from the
sysctl core.
One of these is the ctl_table_arg member of struct ctl_table_header.

Constify this reference as a prerequisite for the full constification of
struct ctl_table instances.
No functional change.

To be able to constify instances of struct ctl_tables it is necessary to
remove ways through which non-const versions are exposed from the
sysctl core.
One of these is the ctl_table_arg member of struct ctl_table_header.

Constify this reference as a prerequisite for the full constification of
struct ctl_table instances.
No functional change.
