net: add lower_dev_list to net_device and make a full mesh
This patch adds lower_dev_list list_head to net_device, which is the same as upper_dev_list, only for lower devices, and begins to use it in the same way as the upper list. It also changes the way the whole adjacent device lists work - now they contain *all* of upper/lower devices, not only the first level. The first level devices are distinguished by the bool neighbour field in netdev_adjacent, also added by this patch. There are cases when a device can be added several times to the adjacent list, the simplest would be: /---- eth0.10 ---\ eth0- --- bond0 \---- eth0.20 ---/ where both bond0 and eth0 'see' each other in the adjacent lists two times. To avoid duplication of netdev_adjacent structures ref_nr is being kept as the number of times the device was added to the list. The 'full view' is achieved by adding, on link creation, all of the upper_dev's upper_dev_list devices as upper devices to all of the lower_dev's lower_dev_list devices (and to the lower_dev itself), and vice versa. On unlink they are removed using the same logic. I've tested it with thousands vlans/bonds/bridges, everything works ok and no observable lags even on a huge number of interfaces. Memory footprint for 128 devices interconnected with each other via both upper and lower (which is impossible, but for the comparison) lists would be: 128*128*2*sizeof(netdev_adjacent) = 1.5MB but in the real world we usualy have at most several devices with slaves and a lot of vlans, so the footprint will be much lower.
