In prep for dropping rtnl_lock, start locking netdev->lock in netlink
genl ops. We need to be using netdev->up instead of flags & IFF_UP.
We can remove the RCU lock protection for the NAPI since NAPI list
is protected by netdev->lock already.

Some uAPI (netdev netlink) hide net_device's sub-objects while
the interface is down to ensure uniform behavior across drivers.
To remove the rtnl_lock dependency from those uAPIs we need a way
to safely tell if the device is down or up.
Add an indication of whether device is open or closed, protected
by netdev->lock. The semantics are the same as IFF_UP, but taking
netdev_lock around every write to ->flags would be a lot of code
churn.
We don't want to blanket the entire open / close path by netdev_lock,
because it will prevent us from applying it to specific structures -
core helpers won't be able to take that lock from any function
called by the drivers on open/close paths.
So the state of the flag is "pessimistic", as in it may report false
negatives, but never false positives.

Add helpers for accessing netdevs under netdev_lock().
There's some careful handling needed to find the device and lock it
safely, without it getting unregistered, and without taking rtnl_lock
(the latter being the whole point of the new locking, after all).

The NAPI IDs were not fully exposed to user space prior to the netlink
API, so they were never namespaced. The netlink API must ensure that
at the very least NAPI instance belongs to the same netns as the owner
of the genl sock.
napi_by_id() can become static now, but it needs to move because of
dev_get_by_napi_id().

Add a persistent NAPI config area for NAPI configuration to the core.
Drivers opt-in to setting the persistent config for a NAPI by passing an
index when calling netif_napi_add_config.
napi_config is allocated in alloc_netdev_mqs, freed in free_netdev
(after the NAPIs are deleted).
Drivers which call netif_napi_add_config will have persistent per-NAPI
settings: NAPI IDs, gro_flush_timeout, and defer_hard_irq settings.
Per-NAPI settings are saved in napi_disable and restored in napi_enable.

Allow per-NAPI gro_flush_timeout setting.
The existing sysfs parameter is respected; writes to sysfs will write to
all NAPI structs for the device and the net_device gro_flush_timeout
field. Reads from sysfs will read from the net_device field.
The ability to set gro_flush_timeout on specific NAPI instances will be
added in a later commit, via netdev-genl.

Introduce the basic infrastructure to implement the net-shaper
core functionality. Each network devices carries a net-shaper cache,
the NL get() operation fetches the data from such cache.
The cache is initially empty, will be fill by the set()/group()
operation implemented later and is destroyed at device cleanup time.
The net_shaper_fill_handle(), net_shaper_ctx_init(), and
net_shaper_generic_pre() implementations handle generic index type
attributes, despite the current caller always pass a constant value
to avoid more noise in later patches using them with different
attributes.

Softirq is preemptible on PREEMPT_RT. Without a per-CPU lock in
local_bh_disable() there is no guarantee that only one device is
transmitting at a time.
With preemption and multiple senders it is possible that the per-CPU
`recursion' counter gets incremented by different threads and exceeds
XMIT_RECURSION_LIMIT leading to a false positive recursion alert.
The `more' member is subject to similar problems if set by one thread
for one driver and wrongly used by another driver within another thread.
Instead of adding a lock to protect the per-CPU variable it is simpler
to make xmit per-task. Sending and receiving skbs happens always
in thread context anyway.
Having a lock to protected the per-CPU counter would block/ serialize two
sending threads needlessly. It would also require a recursive lock to
ensure that the owner can increment the counter further.
Make the softnet_data.xmit a task_struct member on PREEMPT_RT. Add
needed wrapper.

This declaration was added to the header to be called from ethtool.
ethtool is separated from core for code organization but it is not really
a separate entity, it controls very core things.
As ethtool is an internal stuff it is not wise to have it in netdevice.h.
Move the declaration to net/core/dev.h instead.
Remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL call as ethtool can not be built as a module.

free from RCU.
Note that name_node does not hold any reference on dev
to which it points, but there must be a synchronize_rcu()
on device removal path, so we should be fine.

Mark reports a BUG() when a net namespace is removed.
kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c:11520!
Physical interfaces moved outside of init_net get "refunded"
to init_net when that namespace disappears. The main interface
name may get overwritten in the process if it would have
conflicted. We need to also discard all conflicting altnames.
Recent fixes addressed ensuring that altnames get moved
with the main interface, which surfaced this problem.
