A tunnel changelink() operates on at most two netns, dev_net(dev) and
the tunnel link netns t->net. They differ once the device is created in
or moved to a netns other than the one the request runs in. The rtnl
changelink path checks CAP_NET_ADMIN only against dev_net(dev), so a
caller privileged there but not in t->net can rewrite a tunnel that
lives in t->net.
Add rtnl_dev_link_net_capable() next to rtnl_get_net_ns_capable() in
net/core/rtnetlink.c. It requires CAP_NET_ADMIN in the link netns and is
skipped when the link netns is dev_net(dev), where the rtnl path already
checked it. The other patches in this series use the same helper.
Gate ipgre_changelink() and erspan_changelink() with it, at the top of
the op before any attribute is parsed, because the parsers update live
tunnel fields first. ipgre_netlink_parms() sets t->collect_md before
ip_tunnel_changelink() runs.
Commit 8b484efd5c ("ip6: vti: Use ip6_tnl.net in
vti6_siocdevprivate().") added the same check on the ioctl path. This
adds it on RTM_NEWLINK.

Add two helper functions - rtnl_newlink_link_net() and
rtnl_newlink_peer_net() for netns fallback logic. Peer netns falls back
to link netns, and link netns falls back to source netns.
Convert the use of params->net in netdevice drivers to one of the helper
functions for clarity.

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.

Currently, rtnl_setlink() and rtnl_dellink() cannot be fully converted
to per-netns RTNL due to a lack of handling peer/lower/upper devices in
different netns.
For example, when we change a device in rtnl_setlink() and need to
propagate that to its upper devices, we want to avoid acquiring all netns
locks, for which we do not know the upper limit.
The same situation happens when we remove a device.
rtnl_dellink() could be transformed to remove a single device in the
requested netns and delegate other devices to per-netns work, and
rtnl_setlink() might be ?
Until we come up with a better idea, let's use a new flag
RTNL_FLAG_DOIT_PERNET_WIP for rtnl_dellink() and rtnl_setlink().
This will unblock converting RTNL users where such devices are not related.

In ops->newlink(), veth, vxcan, and netkit call rtnl_link_get_net() with
a net pointer, which is the first argument of ->newlink().
rtnl_link_get_net() could return another netns based on IFLA_NET_NS_PID
and IFLA_NET_NS_FD in the peer device's attributes.
We want to get it and fill rtnl_nets->nets[] in advance in rtnl_newlink()
for per-netns RTNL.
All of the three get the peer netns in the same way:
1. Call rtnl_nla_parse_ifinfomsg()
2. Call ops->validate() (vxcan doesn't have)
3. Call rtnl_link_get_net_tb()
Let's add a new field peer_type to struct rtnl_link_ops and prefetch
netns in the peer ifla to add it to rtnl_nets in rtnl_newlink().

guarantee that rtnl_af_ops is alive during inflight RTM_SETLINK

Let's use SRCU to protect ops.
rtnl_af_lookup() now iterates rtnl_af_ops under RCU and returns
SRCU-protected ops pointer. The caller must call rtnl_af_put()
to release the pointer after the use.
Also, rtnl_af_unregister() unlinks the ops first and calls
synchronize_srcu() to wait for inflight RTM_SETLINK requests to

Note that rtnl_af_ops needs to be protected by its dedicated lock

Before commit addf9b90de ("net: rtnetlink: use rcu to free rtnl message
handlers"), once rtnl_msg_handlers[protocol] was allocated, the following
rtnl_register_module() for the same protocol never failed.
However, after the commit, rtnl_msg_handler[protocol][msgtype] needs to
be allocated in each rtnl_register_module(), so each call could fail.
Many callers of rtnl_register_module() do not handle the returned error,
and we need to add many error handlings.
To handle that easily, let's add wrapper functions for bulk registration
of rtnetlink message handlers.

Jaroslav reports Dell's OMSA Systems Management Data Engine
expects NLM_DONE in a separate recvmsg(), both for rtnl_dump_ifinfo()
and inet_dump_ifaddr(). We already added a similar fix previously in
commit 460b0d33cf ("inet: bring NLM_DONE out to a separate recv() again")
Instead of modifying all the dump handlers, and making them look
different than modern for_each_netdev_dump()-based dump handlers -
put the workaround in rtnetlink code. This will also help us move
the custom rtnl-locking from af_netlink in the future (in net-next).
Note that this change is not touching rtnl_dump_all(). rtnl_dump_all()
is different kettle of fish and a potential problem. We now mix families
in a single recvmsg(), but NLM_DONE is not coalesced.
Tested:
