I received some bug reports about userspace programs having problems
because after RTM_NEWLINK was received they could not immediate access
files under /proc/sys/net/ because they had not been registered yet.
The original problem was trivially fixed by moving the userspace
notification from rtnetlink_event() to the end of
register_netdevice().
When testing that change I discovered I was still getting RTM_NEWLINK
events before I could access proc and I was also getting RTM_NEWLINK
events after I was seeing RTM_DELLINK. Things practically guaranteed
to confuse userspace.
After a little more investigation these extra notifications proved to
be from the new notifiers NETDEV_POST_INIT and NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH
hitting the default case in rtnetlink_event, and triggering
unnecessary RTM_NEWLINK messages.
rtnetlink_event now explicitly handles NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH and
NETDEV_POST_INIT to avoid sending the incorrect userspace
notifications.

Fix two problems:
1. If unregister_netdevice_many() is called with both registered
and unregistered devices, rollback_registered_many() bails out
when it reaches the first unregistered device. The processing
of the prior registered devices is unfinished, and the
remaining devices are skipped, and possible registered netdev's
are leaked/unregistered.
2. System hangs or panics depending on how the devices are passed,
since when netdev_run_todo() runs, some devices were not fully
processed.
Tested by passing intermingled unregistered and registered vlan
devices to unregister_netdevice_many() as follows:
1. dev, fake_dev1, fake_dev2: hangs in run_todo
("unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth1.100 to become
free. Usage count = 1")
2. fake_dev1, dev, fake_dev2: failure during de-registration
and next registration, followed by a vlan driver Oops
during subsequent registration.
Confirmed that the patch fixes both cases.

Refactor the code so fib_rules_register always takes a template instead
of the actual fib_rules_ops structure that will be used. This is
required for network namespace support so 2 out of the 3 callers already
do this, it allows the error handling to be made common, and it allows
fib_rules_unregister to free the template for hte caller.

net: fib_rules: allow to delete local rule
Allow to delete the local rule and recreate it with a higher priority. This
can be used to force packets with a local destination out on the wire instead
of routing them to loopback. Additionally this patch allows to recreate rules
with a priority of 0.
Combined with the previous patch to allow oif classification, a socket can
be bound to the desired interface and packets routed to the wire like this:
# move local rule to lower priority
ip rule add pref 1000 lookup local
ip rule del pref 0
# route packets of sockets bound to eth0 to the wire independant
# of the destination address
ip rule add pref 100 oif eth0 lookup 100
ip route add default dev eth0 table 100

To get the full benefit of batched network namespace cleanup netowrk
device deletion needs to be performed by the generic code. When
using register_pernet_gen_device and freeing the data in exit_net
it is impossible to delay allocation until after exit_net has called
as the device uninit methods are no longer safe.
To correct this, and to simplify working with per network namespace data
I have moved allocation and deletion of per network namespace data into
the network namespace core. The core now frees the data only after
all of the network namespace exit routines have run.
Now it is only required to set the new fields .id and .size
in the pernet_operations structure if you want network namespace
data to be managed for you automatically.
This makes the current register_pernet_gen_device and
register_pernet_gen_subsys routines unnecessary. For the moment
I have left them as compatibility wrappers in net_namespace.h
They will be removed once all of the users have been updated.

It is fairly common to kill several network namespaces at once. Either
because they are nested one inside the other or because they are cooperating
in multiple machine networking experiments. As the network stack control logic
does not parallelize easily batch up multiple network namespaces existing
together.
To get the full benefit of batching the virtual network devices to be
removed must be all removed in one batch. For that purpose I have added
a loop after the last network device operations have run that batches
up all remaining network devices and deletes them.
An extra benefit is that the reorganization slightly shrinks the size
of the per network namespace data structures replaceing a work_struct
with a list_head.
In a trivial test with 4K namespaces this change reduced the cost of
a destroying 4K namespaces from 7+ minutes (at 12% cpu) to 44 seconds
(at 60% cpu). The bulk of that 44s was spent in inet_twsk_purge.

The motivation for an additional notifier in batched netdevice
notification (rt_do_flush) only needs to be called once per batch not
once per namespace.
For further batching improvements I need a guarantee that the
netdevices are unregistered in order allowing me to unregister an all
of the network devices in a network namespace at the same time with
the guarantee that the loopback device is really and truly
unregistered last.
Additionally it appears that we moved the route cache flush after
the final synchronize_net, which seems wrong and there was no
explanation. So I have restored the original location of the final
synchronize_net.
