When forcibly changing the network namespace of a device
I need something that can generate a name for the device
in the new namespace without overwriting the old name.

__dev_alloc_name provides me that functionality.

This patch makes most of the generic device layer network
namespace safe.  This patch makes dev_base_head a
network namespace variable, and then it picks up
a few associated variables.  The functions:
dev_getbyhwaddr
dev_getfirsthwbytype
dev_get_by_flags
dev_get_by_name
__dev_get_by_name
dev_get_by_index
__dev_get_by_index
dev_ioctl
dev_ethtool
dev_load
wireless_process_ioctl

were modified to take a network namespace argument, and
deal with it.

vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their
hooks will receive a network namespace argument.

So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was
affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle
multiple network namespaces.  The rest of the network stack was
simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network
namespace.  This can be fixed when those components of the network
stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces.

For now the ifindex generator is left global.

Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else
we will have corner case problems with migration when
we get that far.

At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack
that the ifindex of a network device won't change.  Making
the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until
the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when
you change namespaces, and the like.

Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace,
this includes the controlling kernel sockets.

This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols
to only support the initial network namespace.  Request
by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED.
As they would if the kernel did not have the support for
that netlink protocol compiled in.

As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network
namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets
to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces.

The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation
at hash table insertion and hash table look up time.

Every user of the network device notifiers is either a protocol
stack or a pseudo device.  If a protocol stack that does not have
support for multiple network namespaces receives an event for a
device that is not in the initial network namespace it quite possibly
can get confused and do the wrong thing.

To avoid problems until all of the protocol stacks are converted
this patch modifies all netdev event handlers to ignore events on
devices that are not in the initial network namespace.

As the rest of the code is made network namespace aware these
checks can be removed.

Except for carefully selected pseudo devices all network
interfaces should start out in the initial network namespace.
Ultimately it will be register_netdev that examines what
dev->nd_net is set to and places a device in a network namespace.

This patch modifies alloc_netdev to initialize the network
namespace a device is in with the initial network namespace.
This gets it right for the vast majority of devices so their
drivers need not be modified and for those few pseudo devices
that need something different they can change this parameter
before calling register_netdevice.

The network namespace parameter on a network device is not
reference counted as the devices are inside of a network namespace
and cannot remain in that namespace past the lifetime of the
network namespace.

This patch passes in the namespace a new socket should be created in
and has the socket code do the appropriate reference counting.  By
virtue of this all socket create methods are touched.  In addition
the socket create methods are modified so that they will fail if
you attempt to create a socket in a non-default network namespace.

Failing if we attempt to create a socket outside of the default
network namespace ensures that as we incrementally make the network stack
network namespace aware we will not export functionality that someone
has not audited and made certain is network namespace safe.
Allowing us to partially enable network namespaces before all of the
exotic protocols are supported.

Any protocol layers I have missed will fail to compile because I now
pass an extra parameter into the socket creation code.

This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace.  It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.

Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

This is the basic infrastructure needed to support network
namespaces.  This infrastructure is:
- Registration functions to support initializing per network
  namespace data when a network namespaces is created or destroyed.

- struct net.  The network namespace data structure.
  This structure will grow as variables are made per network
  namespace but this is the minimal starting point.

- Functions to grab a reference to the network namespace.
  I provide both get/put functions that keep a network namespace
  from being freed.  And hold/release functions serve as weak references
  and will warn if their count is not zero when the data structure
  is freed.  Useful for dealing with more complicated data structures
  like the ipv4 route cache.

- A list of all of the network namespaces so we can iterate over them.

- A slab for the network namespace data structure allowing leaks
  to be spotted.

Based upon initial work by Keiichi Kii <k-keiichi@bx.jp.nec.com>.

This patch introduces support for dynamic reconfiguration (adding, removing
and/or modifying parameters of netconsole targets at runtime) using a
userspace interface exported via configfs.  Documentation is also updated
accordingly.

Issues and brief design overview:

(1) Kernel-initiated creation / destruction of kernel objects is not
    possible with configfs -- the lifetimes of the "config items" is managed
    exclusively from userspace.  But netconsole must support boot/module
    params too, and these are parsed in kernel and hence netpolls must be
    setup from the kernel.  Joel Becker suggested to separately manage the
    lifetimes of the two kinds of netconsole_target objects -- those created
    via configfs mkdir(2) from userspace and those specified from the
    boot/module option string.  This adds complexity and some redundancy here
    and also means that boot/module param-created targets are not exposed
    through the configfs namespace (and hence cannot be updated / destroyed
    dynamically).  However, this saves us from locking / refcounting
    complexities that would need to be introduced in configfs to support
    kernel-initiated item creation / destroy there.

(2) In configfs, item creation takes place in the call chain of the
    mkdir(2) syscall in the driver subsystem.  If we used an ioctl(2) to
    create / destroy objects from userspace, the special userspace program is
    able to fill out the structure to be passed into the ioctl and hence
    specify attributes such as local interface that are required at the time
    we set up the netpoll.  For configfs, this information is not available at
    the time of mkdir(2).  So, we keep all newly-created targets (via
    configfs) disabled by default.  The user is expected to set various
    attributes appropriately (including the local network interface if
    required) and then write(2) "1" to the "enabled" attribute.  Thus,
    netpoll_setup() is then called on the set parameters in the context of
    _this_ write(2) on the "enabled" attribute itself.  This design enables
    the user to reconfigure existing netconsole targets at runtime to be
    attached to newly-come-up interfaces that may not have existed when
    netconsole was loaded or when the targets were actually created.  All this
    effectively enables us to get rid of custom ioctls.

(3) Ultra-paranoid configfs attribute show() and store() operations, with
    sanity and input range checking, using only safe string primitives, and
    compliant with the recommendations in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt.

(4) A new function netpoll_print_options() is created in the netpoll API,
    that just prints out the configured parameters for a netpoll structure.
    netpoll_parse_options() is modified to use that and it is also exported to
    be used from netconsole.

Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.

In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.

The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:

	int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)

to

	int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)

The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract).  The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.

The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.

Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler.  Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.

1) Comments suggest that setting optlen to zero will unbind
   the socket from whatever device it might be attached to.  This
   hasn't been the case since at least 2.2.x because the first thing
   this function does is return -EINVAL if 'optlen' is less than
   sizeof(int).

   This check also means that passing in a two byte string doesn't
   work so well.  It's almost as if this code was testing with "eth?"
   patterned strings and nothing else :-)

   Fix this by breaking the logic of this facility out into a
   seperate function which validates optlen more appropriately.

   The optlen==0 and small string cases now work properly.

2) We should reset the cached route of the socket after we have made
   the device binding changes, not before.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8797 shows that the
bonding driver may produce bogus combinations of the checksum
flags and SG/TSO.

For example, if you bond devices with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and
NETIF_F_IP_CSUM you'll end up with a bonding device that
has neither flag set.  If both have TSO then this produces
an illegal combination.

The bridge device on the other hand has the correct code to
deal with this.

In fact, the same code can be used for both.  So this patch
moves that logic into net/core/dev.c and uses it for both
bonding and bridging.

In the process I've made small adjustments such as only
setting GSO_ROBUST if at least one constituent device
supports it.

calling the device's ->do_ioctl method to allow unconverted drivers to

The bonding driver is the biggest beneficiary of this; it no longer
needs to call ioctl() as a fallback if ethtool_ops aren't supported.

This patch adds code to allow errors to be passed up from event
handlers of NETDEV_REGISTER and NETDEV_CHANGENAME.  It also adds
the notifier_from_errno/notifier_to_errnor helpers to pass the
errno value up to the notifier caller.

If an error is detected when a device is registered, it causes
that operation to fail.  A NETDEV_UNREGISTER will be sent to
all event handlers.

Similarly if NETDEV_CHANGENAME fails the original name is restored
and a new NETDEV_CHANGENAME event is sent.

As such all event handlers must be idempotent with respect to
these events.

When an event handler is registered NETDEV_REGISTER events are
sent for all devices currently registered.  Should any of them
fail, we will send NETDEV_GOING_DOWN/NETDEV_DOWN/NETDEV_UNREGISTER
events to that handler for the devices which have already been
registered with it.  The handler registration itself will fail.

The race can affect calles of __dev_get_by_name that do so without taking
