[ Upstream commit 31c05415f5b471fd333fe42629788364faea8e0d ]

This restores the ability of setting bond device's mtu to 9000.

<title>netns: make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned int</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c7d03a00b56fc23c3a01a8353789ad257363e281</id>
<content type='text'>
Make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned.

There are 2 reasons to do so:

1)
This field is really an index into an zero based array and
thus is unsigned entity. Using negative value is out-of-bound
access by definition.

2)
On x86_64 unsigned 32-bit data which are mixed with pointers
via array indexing or offsets added or subtracted to pointers
are preffered to signed 32-bit data.

"int" being used as an array index needs to be sign-extended
to 64-bit before being used.

	void f(long *p, int i)
	{
		g(p[i]);
	}

  roughly translates to

	movsx	rsi, esi
	mov	rdi, [rsi+...]
	call 	g

MOVSX is 3 byte instruction which isn't necessary if the variable is
unsigned because x86_64 is zero extending by default.

Now, there is net_generic() function which, you guessed it right, uses
"int" as an array index:

	static inline void *net_generic(const struct net *net, int id)
	{
		...
		ptr = ng-&gt;ptr[id - 1];
		...
	}

And this function is used a lot, so those sign extensions add up.

Patch snipes ~1730 bytes on allyesconfig kernel (without all junk
messing with code generation):

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)

Unfortunately some functions actually grow bigger.
This is a semmingly random artefact of code generation with register
allocator being used differently. gcc decides that some variable
needs to live in new r8+ registers and every access now requires REX
prefix. Or it is shifted into r12, so [r12+0] addressing mode has to be
used which is longer than [r8]

However, overall balance is in negative direction:

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)
	function                                     old     new   delta

Convert alb_send_learning_packets and bond_has_this_ip to use the new
netdev_walk_all_upper_dev_rcu API. In both cases this is just a code
conversion; no functional change is intended.

v2
- removed typecast of data and simplified bond_upper_dev_walk

Pull uaccess.h prepwork from Al Viro:
 "Preparations to tree-wide switch to use of linux/uaccess.h (which,
  obviously, will allow to start unifying stuff for real). The last step
  there, ie

    PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*&lt;asm/uaccess.h&gt;'
    sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include &lt;linux/uaccess.h&gt;!" \
            `git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h`

  is not taken here - I would prefer to do it once just before or just
  after -rc1.  However, everything should be ready for it"

* 'work.uaccess2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:

The only remaining users are issuing SIOCGMIIPHY and SIOCGMIIREG,
neither of which deals with userland pointers.  Simply calling
-&gt;ndo_do_ioctl() is fine; no messing with set_fs() is needed.
It used to mess with SIOCETHTOOL, which would've needed set_fs(),
but that has been killed in "[NET] ethtool ops are the only way"
9 years ago...

Following few steps will crash kernel -

  (a) Create bonding master
      &gt; modprobe bonding miimon=50
  (b) Create macvlan bridge on eth2
      &gt; ip link add link eth2 dev mvl0 address aa:0:0:0:0:01 \
	   type macvlan
  (c) Now try adding eth2 into the bond
      &gt; echo +eth2 &gt; /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
      &lt;crash&gt;

Bonding does lots of things before checking if the device enslaved is
busy or not.

In this case when the notifier call-chain sends notifications, the
bond_netdev_event() assumes that the rx_handler /rx_handler_data is
registered while the bond_enslave() hasn't progressed far enough to
register rx_handler for the new slave.

This patch adds a rx_handler check that can be performed right at the
beginning of the enslave code to avoid getting into this situation.

alloc_ordered_workqueue() with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM set, replaces
deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue(). This is the identity
conversion.

The workqueue "wq" queues multiple work items viz
&amp;bond-&gt;mcast_work, &amp;nnw-&gt;work, &amp;bond-&gt;mii_work, &amp;bond-&gt;arp_work,
&amp;bond-&gt;alb_work, &amp;bond-&gt;mii_work, &amp;bond-&gt;ad_work, &amp;bond-&gt;slave_arr_work
which require strict execution ordering. Hence, an ordered dedicated
workqueue has been used.

Since, it is a network driver, WQ_MEM_RECLAIM has been set to
ensure forward progress under memory pressure.
