net/dummy: Move stats allocation to core

With commit 34d21de99cea9 ("net: Move {l,t,d}stats allocation to core and
convert veth & vrf"), stats allocation could be done on net core instead
of this driver.

With this new approach, the driver doesn't have to bother with error
handling (allocation failure checking, making sure free happens in the
right spot, etc). This is core responsibility now.

Move dummy driver to leverage the core allocation.

net: add netdev_lockdep_set_classes() to virtual drivers

Based on a syzbot report, it appears many virtual
drivers do not yet use netdev_lockdep_set_classes(),
triggerring lockdep false positives.

ethtool: doc: clarify what drivers can implement in their get_drvinfo()

Many of the drivers which implement ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo() will
prints the .driver, .version or .bus_info of struct ethtool_drvinfo.
To have a glance of current state, do:

$ git grep -W "get_drvinfo(struct"

Printing in those three fields is useless because:

- since [1], the driver version should be the kernel version (at
least for upstream drivers). Arguably, out of tree drivers might
still want to set a custom version, but out of tree is not our
focus.

- since [2], the core is able to provide default values for .driver
and .bus_info.

In summary, drivers may provide .fw_version and .erom_version, the
rest is expected to be done by the core.

In struct ethtool_ops doc from linux/ethtool: rephrase field
get_drvinfo() doc to discourage developers from implementing this
callback.

In struct ethtool_drvinfo doc from uapi/linux/ethtool.h: remove the
paragraph mentioning what drivers should do. Rationale: no need to
repeat what is already written in struct ethtool_ops doc. But add a
note that .fw_version and .erom_version are driver defined.

Also update the dummy driver and simply remove the callback in order
not to confuse the newcomers: most of the drivers will not need this
callback function any more.

net: Do not take net_rwsem in __rtnl_link_unregister()

This function calls call_netdevice_notifier(), which also
may take net_rwsem. So, we can't use net_rwsem here.

This patch makes callers of this functions take pernet_ops_rwsem,
like register_netdevice_notifier() does. This will protect
the modifications of net_namespace_list, and allows notifiers
to take it (they won't have to care about context).

Since __rtnl_link_unregister() is used on module load
and unload (which are not frequent operations), this looks
for me better, than make all call_netdevice_notifier()
always executing in "protected net_namespace_list" context.

Also, this fixes the problem we had a deal in 328fbe747ad4
"Close race between {un, }register_netdevice_notifier and ...",
and guarantees __rtnl_link_unregister() does not skip
exitting net.

These two drivers (dummy and ifb) call ether_setup(), after commit
61e84623ace3 ("net: centralize net_device min/max MTU checking"), the
range of mtu is [min_mtu, max_mtu], which is [68, 1500] by default.

These two devices should not have limits on MTU. This patch set their
min_mtu/max_mtu to 0. So that dev_set_mtu() will not check the mtu range,
and can be set with any value.

# cf124db5 07-May-2017 David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.

Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor().

The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.

netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.

netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.

Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().

This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.

If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But
it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor().

This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.

However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev->destructor() will not be.

Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.

Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.

Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().

netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for
free_netdev().

netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().

Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit()
and netdev->priv_destructor().

And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().

net: dummy: Introduce dummy virtual functions

The idea for this was born when testing VF support in iproute2 which was
impeded by hardware requirements. In fact, not every VF-capable hardware
driver implements all netdev ops, so testing the interface is still hard
to do even with a well-sorted hardware shelf.

To overcome this and allow for testing the user-kernel interface, this
patch allows to turn dummy into a PF with a configurable amount of VFs.

Since my patch series 'bus-agnostic-num-vf' has been accepted,
implementing the required interfaces is pretty straightforward: Iff
'num_vfs' module parameter was given a value >0, a dummy bus type is
being registered which implements the 'num_vf()' callback. Additionally,
a dummy parent device common to all dummy devices is registered which
sits on the above dummy bus.

net: Explicitly initialize u64_stats_sync structures for lockdep

In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we
must explicitly initialize any locks.

The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need
to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize
the structure.

This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code
to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes
this worth while.

Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the
changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some
separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various
maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with
the seqcount lockdep enablement.

Feedback would be appreciated!

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
