There's a number of functions and static variables used
under net/core/ but not from the outside. We currently
dump most of them into netdevice.h. That bad for many
reasons:
 - netdevice.h is very cluttered, hard to figure out
   what the APIs are;
 - netdevice.h is very long;
 - we have to touch netdevice.h more which causes expensive
   incremental builds.

Create a header under net/core/ and move some declarations.

The new header is also a bit of a catch-all but that's
fine, if we create more specific headers people will
likely over-think where their declaration fit best.
And end up putting them in netdevice.h, again.

More work should be done on splitting netdevice.h into more
targeted headers, but that'd be more time consuming so small
steps.

Since all netdev-&gt;dev_addr modifications go via dev_addr_mod()
we can put it on the list. When address is change remove it
and add it back.

There are no module callers in-tree and it's hard to justify
why anyone would init or flush addresses of a netdev (note
the flush is more of a destructor, it frees netdev-&gt;dev_addr).

Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. We converted all users to make modifications via appropriate
helpers, make netdev-&gt;dev_addr const.

The update helpers need to upcast from the buffer to
struct netdev_hw_addr.

struct dev_addr_list is used for device addresses, unicast addresses
and multicast addresses. The first of those needs special handling
of the main address - netdev-&gt;dev_addr points directly the data
of the entry and drivers write to it freely, so we can't maintain
it in the rbtree (for now, at least, to be fixed in net-next).

Current work around sprinkles special handling of the first
address on the list throughout the code but it missed the case
where address is being added. First address will not be visible
during subsequent adds.

Syzbot found a warning where unicast addresses are modified
without holding the rtnl lock, tl;dr is that team generates
the same modification multiple times, not necessarily when
right locks are held.

In the repro we have:

  macvlan -&gt; team -&gt; veth

macvlan adds a unicast address to the team. Team then pushes
that address down to its memebers (veths). Next something unrelated
makes team sync member addrs again, and because of the bug
the addr entries get duplicated in the veths. macvlan gets
removed, removes its addr from team which removes only one
of the duplicated addresses from veths. This removal is done
under rtnl. Next syzbot uses iptables to add a multicast addr
to team (which does not hold rtnl lock). Team syncs veth addrs,
but because veths' unicast list still has the duplicate it will
also get sync, even though this update is intended for mc addresses.
Again, uc address updates need rtnl lock, boom.

The source of most of the slow down is the `dev_addr_lists.c` module,
which mainatins a linked list of HW addresses.
When using IPv6, this list grows for each IPv6 address added on a
VLAN, since each IPv6 address has a multicast HW address associated with
it.

When performing any modification to the involved links, this list is
traversed many times, often for nothing, all while holding the RTNL
lock.

Instead, this patch adds an auxilliary rbtree which cuts down
traversal time significantly.

Performance can be seen with the following script:

	#!/bin/bash
	ip netns del test || true 2&gt;/dev/null
	ip netns add test

	echo 1 | ip netns exec test tee /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/keep_addr_on_down &gt; /dev/null

	set -e

	ip -n test link add foo type veth peer name bar
	ip -n test link add b1 type bond
	ip -n test link add florp type vrf table 10

	ip -n test link set bar master b1
	ip -n test link set foo up
	ip -n test link set bar up
	ip -n test link set b1 up
	ip -n test link set florp up

	VLAN_COUNT=1500
	BASE_DEV=b1

	echo Creating vlans
	ip netns exec test time -p bash -c "for i in \$(seq 1 $VLAN_COUNT);
	do ip -n test link add link $BASE_DEV name foo.\$i type vlan id \$i; done"

	echo Bringing them up
	ip netns exec test time -p bash -c "for i in \$(seq 1 $VLAN_COUNT);
	do ip -n test link set foo.\$i up; done"

	echo Assiging IPv6 Addresses
	ip netns exec test time -p bash -c "for i in \$(seq 1 $VLAN_COUNT);
	do ip -n test address add dev foo.\$i 2000::\$i/64; done"

	echo Attaching to VRF
	ip netns exec test time -p bash -c "for i in \$(seq 1 $VLAN_COUNT);
	do ip -n test link set foo.\$i master florp; done"

<title>net: core: add nested_level variable in net_device</title>

<id>1fc70edb7d7b5ce1ae32b0cf90183f4879ad421a</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch is to add a new variable 'nested_level' into the net_device
structure.
This variable will be used as a parameter of spin_lock_nested() of
dev-&gt;addr_list_lock.

netif_addr_lock() can be called recursively so spin_lock_nested() is
used instead of spin_lock() and dev-&gt;lower_level is used as a parameter
of spin_lock_nested().
But, dev-&gt;lower_level value can be updated while it is being used.
So, lockdep would warn a possible deadlock scenario.

When a stacked interface is deleted, netif_{uc | mc}_sync() is
called recursively.
So, spin_lock_nested() is called recursively too.
At this moment, the dev-&gt;lower_level variable is used as a parameter of it.
dev-&gt;lower_level value is updated when interfaces are being unlinked/linked
immediately.
Thus, After unlinking, dev-&gt;lower_level shouldn't be a parameter of
spin_lock_nested().

    A (macvlan)
    |
    B (vlan)
    |
    C (bridge)
    |
    D (macvlan)
    |
    E (vlan)
    |
    F (bridge)

    A-&gt;lower_level : 6
    B-&gt;lower_level : 5
    C-&gt;lower_level : 4
    D-&gt;lower_level : 3
    E-&gt;lower_level : 2
    F-&gt;lower_level : 1

When an interface 'A' is removed, it releases resources.
At this moment, netif_addr_lock() would be called.
Then, netdev_upper_dev_unlink() is called recursively.
Then dev-&gt;lower_level is updated.
There is no problem.

But, when the bridge module is removed, 'C' and 'F' interfaces
are removed at once.
If 'F' is removed first, a lower_level value is like below.
    A-&gt;lower_level : 5
    B-&gt;lower_level : 4
    C-&gt;lower_level : 3
    D-&gt;lower_level : 2
    E-&gt;lower_level : 1
    F-&gt;lower_level : 1

Then, 'C' is removed. at this moment, netif_addr_lock() is called
recursively.
The ordering is like this.
C(3)-&gt;D(2)-&gt;E(1)-&gt;F(1)
At this moment, the lower_level value of 'E' and 'F' are the same.
So, lockdep warns a possible deadlock scenario.

In order to avoid this problem, a new variable 'nested_level' is added.
This value is the same as dev-&gt;lower_level - 1.
But this value is updated in rtnl_unlock().
So, this variable can be used as a parameter of spin_lock_nested() safely
in the rtnl context.

Test commands:
   ip link add br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
   ip link add vlan1 link br0 type vlan id 10
   ip link add macvlan2 link vlan1 type macvlan
   ip link add br3 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
   ip link set macvlan2 master br3
   ip link add vlan4 link br3 type vlan id 10
   ip link add macvlan5 link vlan4 type macvlan
   ip link add br6 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
   ip link set macvlan5 master br6
   ip link add vlan7 link br6 type vlan id 10
   ip link add macvlan8 link vlan7 type macvlan

   ip link set br0 up
   ip link set vlan1 up

This patch is to add a new variable 'nested_level' into the net_device
structure.
This variable will be used as a parameter of spin_lock_nested() of
dev-&gt;addr_list_lock.

netif_addr_lock() can be called recursively so spin_lock_nested() is
used instead of spin_lock() and dev-&gt;lower_level is used as a parameter
of spin_lock_nested().
But, dev-&gt;lower_level value can be updated while it is being used.
So, lockdep would warn a possible deadlock scenario.

When a stacked interface is deleted, netif_{uc | mc}_sync() is
called recursively.
So, spin_lock_nested() is called recursively too.
At this moment, the dev-&gt;lower_level variable is used as a parameter of it.
dev-&gt;lower_level value is updated when interfaces are being unlinked/linked
immediately.
Thus, After unlinking, dev-&gt;lower_level shouldn't be a parameter of
spin_lock_nested().

    A (macvlan)
    |
    B (vlan)
    |
    C (bridge)
    |
    D (macvlan)
    |
    E (vlan)
    |
    F (bridge)

    A-&gt;lower_level : 6
    B-&gt;lower_level : 5
    C-&gt;lower_level : 4
    D-&gt;lower_level : 3
    E-&gt;lower_level : 2
    F-&gt;lower_level : 1

When an interface 'A' is removed, it releases resources.
At this moment, netif_addr_lock() would be called.
Then, netdev_upper_dev_unlink() is called recursively.
Then dev-&gt;lower_level is updated.
There is no problem.

But, when the bridge module is removed, 'C' and 'F' interfaces
are removed at once.
If 'F' is removed first, a lower_level value is like below.
    A-&gt;lower_level : 5
    B-&gt;lower_level : 4
    C-&gt;lower_level : 3
    D-&gt;lower_level : 2
    E-&gt;lower_level : 1
    F-&gt;lower_level : 1

Then, 'C' is removed. at this moment, netif_addr_lock() is called
recursively.
The ordering is like this.
C(3)-&gt;D(2)-&gt;E(1)-&gt;F(1)
At this moment, the lower_level value of 'E' and 'F' are the same.
So, lockdep warns a possible deadlock scenario.

In order to avoid this problem, a new variable 'nested_level' is added.
