Cosmin reports an issue with ipv6_add_dev being called from
NETDEV_CHANGE notifier:

Similarly, linkwatch might get to ipv6_add_dev without ops lock:

<content type='text'>
Add PRP specific function for handling duplicate
packets. This is needed because of potential
L2 802.1p prioritization done by network switches.

The L2 prioritization can re-order the PRP packets
from a node causing the existing implementation to
discard the frame(s) that have been received 'late'
because the sequence number is before the previous
received packet. This can happen if the node is
sending multiple frames back-to-back with different
priority.

The name 'netns_local' is confusing. A following commit will export it via
netlink, so let's use a more explicit name.

<content type='text'>
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-&gt;net in netdevice drivers to one of the helper
functions for clarity.

<title>rtnetlink: Pack newlink() params into struct</title>

<id>urn:sha1:69c7be1b903fca2835e80ec506bd1d75ce84fb4d</id>
<content type='text'>
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-&gt;net trivially.

Pull networking fixes from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Including fixes from IPSec, netfilter and Bluetooth.

  Nothing really stands out, but as usual there's a slight concentration
  of fixes for issues added in the last two weeks before the merge
  window, and driver bugs from 6.13 which tend to get discovered upon
  wider distribution.

  Current release - regressions:

   - net: revert RTNL changes in unregister_netdevice_many_notify()

   - Bluetooth: fix possible infinite recursion of btusb_reset

   - eth: adjust locking in some old drivers which protect their state
     with spinlocks to avoid sleeping in atomic; core protects netdev
     state with a mutex now

  Previous releases - regressions:

   - eth:
      - mlx5e: make sure we pass node ID, not CPU ID to kvzalloc_node()
      - bgmac: reduce max frame size to support just 1500 bytes; the
        jumbo frame support would previously cause OOB writes, but now
        fails outright

   - mptcp: blackhole only if 1st SYN retrans w/o MPC is accepted, avoid
     false detection of MPTCP blackholing

  Previous releases - always broken:

   - mptcp: handle fastopen disconnect correctly

   - xfrm:
      - make sure skb-&gt;sk is a full sock before accessing its fields
      - fix taking a lock with preempt disabled for RT kernels

   - usb: ipheth: improve safety of packet metadata parsing; prevent
     potential OOB accesses

   - eth: renesas: fix missing rtnl lock in suspend/resume path"

Stephan Wurm reported that my recent patch broke VLAN support.

Apparently skb-&gt;mac_len is not correct for VLAN traffic as
shown by debug traces [1].

Use instead pskb_may_pull() to make sure the expected header
is present in skb-&gt;head.

Many thanks to Stephan for his help.

Pull driver core and debugfs updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1.

  Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust
  bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the
  merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to
  mark things as const, which will also require some fixups due to new
  stuff coming in through other trees in this merge window.

  There are also a bunch of debugfs updates from Al, and there is at
  least one user that does have a regression with these, but Al is
  working on tracking down the fix for it. In my use (and everyone
  else's linux-next use), it does not seem like a big issue at the
  moment.

  Here's a short list of the things in here:

   - driver core rust bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o
     functions.

     We are almost at the "write a real driver in rust" stage now,
     depending on what you want to do.

   - misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use
     them

   - debugfs cleanups in the fs as well as the users of the fs api for
     places where drivers got it wrong or were unnecessarily doing
     things in complex ways.

   - driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for
     different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall.

   - other small fixes and updates

  All of these have been in linux-next with all of the aforementioned
  merge conflicts, and the one debugfs issue, which looks to be resolved
  "soon""

Existing primitive has several problems:
	1) calling conventions are clumsy - it returns a dentry reference
that is either identical to its second argument or is an ERR_PTR(-E...);
in both cases no refcount changes happen.  Inconvenient for users and
bug-prone; it would be better to have it return 0 on success and -E... on
failure.
	2) it allows cross-directory moves; however, no such caller have
ever materialized and considering the way debugfs is used, it's unlikely
to happen in the future.  What's more, any such caller would have fun
issues to deal with wrt interplay with recursive removal.  It also makes
the calling conventions clumsier...
	3) tautological rename fails; the callers have no race-free way
to deal with that.
	4) new name must have been formed by the caller; quite a few
callers have it done by sprintf/kasprintf/etc., ending up with considerable
boilerplate.

Proposed replacement: int debugfs_change_name(dentry, fmt, ...).  All callers
convert to that easily, and it's simpler internally.

IMO debugfs_rename() should go; if we ever get a real-world use case for
cross-directory moves in debugfs, we can always look into the right way
to handle that.
