Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a larger set of changes around the generic namespace
infrastructure of the kernel.
Each specific namespace type (net, cgroup, mnt, ...) embedds a struct
ns_common which carries the reference count of the namespace and so
on.
We open-coded and cargo-culted so many quirks for each namespace type
that it just wasn't scalable anymore. So given there's a bunch of new
changes coming in that area I've started cleaning all of this up.
The core change is to make it possible to correctly initialize every
namespace uniformly and derive the correct initialization settings
from the type of the namespace such as namespace operations, namespace
type and so on. This leaves the new ns_common_init() function with a
single parameter which is the specific namespace type which derives
the correct parameters statically. This also means the compiler will
yell as soon as someone does something remotely fishy.
The ns_common_init() addition also allows us to remove ns_alloc_inum()
and drops any special-casing of the initial network namespace in the
network namespace initialization code that Linus complained about.
Another part is reworking the reference counting. The reference
counting was open-coded and copy-pasted for each namespace type even
though they all followed the same rules. This also removes all open
accesses to the reference count and makes it private and only uses a
very small set of dedicated helpers to manipulate them just like we do
for e.g., files.
In addition this generalizes the mount namespace iteration
infrastructure introduced a few cycles ago. As reminder, the vfs makes
it possible to iterate sequentially and bidirectionally through all
mount namespaces on the system or all mount namespaces that the caller
holds privilege over. This allow userspace to iterate over all mounts
in all mount namespaces using the listmount() and statmount() system
call.
Each mount namespace has a unique identifier for the lifetime of the
systems that is exposed to userspace. The network namespace also has a
unique identifier working exactly the same way. This extends the
concept to all other namespace types.
The new nstree type makes it possible to lookup namespaces purely by
their identifier and to walk the namespace list sequentially and
bidirectionally for all namespace types, allowing userspace to iterate
through all namespaces. Looking up namespaces in the namespace tree
works completely locklessly.
This also means we can move the mount namespace onto the generic
infrastructure and remove a bunch of code and members from struct
mnt_namespace itself.
There's a bunch of stuff coming on top of this in the future but for
now this uses the generic namespace tree to extend a concept
introduced first for pidfs a few cycles ago. For a while now we have
supported pidfs file handles for pidfds. This has proven to be very
useful.
This extends the concept to cover namespaces as well. It is possible
to encode and decode namespace file handles using the common
name_to_handle_at() and open_by_handle_at() apis.
As with pidfs file handles, namespace file handles are exhaustive,
meaning it is not required to actually hold a reference to nsfs in
able to decode aka open_by_handle_at() a namespace file handle.
Instead the FD_NSFS_ROOT constant can be passed which will let the
kernel grab a reference to the root of nsfs internally and thus decode
the file handle.
Namespaces file descriptors can already be derived from pidfds which
means they aren't subject to overmount protection bugs. IOW, it's
irrelevant if the caller would not have access to an appropriate
/proc/<pid>/ns/ directory as they could always just derive the
namespace based on a pidfd already.
It has the same advantage as pidfds. It's possible to reliably and for
the lifetime of the system refer to a namespace without pinning any
resources and to compare them trivially.
Permission checking is kept simple. If the caller is located in the
namespace the file handle refers to they are able to open it otherwise
they must hold privilege over the owning namespace of the relevant
namespace.
The namespace file handle layout is exposed as uapi and has a stable
and extensible format. For now it simply contains the namespace
identifier, the namespace type, and the inode number. The stable
format means that userspace may construct its own namespace file
handles without going through name_to_handle_at() as they are already
allowed for pidfs and cgroup file handles"

Every namespace type has a container_of(ns, <ns_type>, ns) static inline
function that is currently not exposed in the header. So we have a bunch
of places that open-code it via container_of(). Move it to the headers

The network namespace has a separate list with different lifetime rules
which we can just leave in tact. We have a similar concept for mount
namespaces as well where it is on two differenet lists for different

With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd3 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.
While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.
Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of callees to
sys_clone3/copy_process (excluding the architecture-specific
copy_thread) to consistently pass clone_flags as u64, so that
no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on 32-bit architectures.

A later patch in the series will be adding debugfs files for each
ref_tracker that get created in ref_tracker_dir_init(). The format will
be "class@%px". The current "name" string can vary between
ref_tracker_dir objects of the same type, so it's not suitable for this
purpose.
Add a new "class" string to the ref_tracker dir that describes the
the type of object (sans any individual info for that object).
Also, in the i915 driver, gate the creation of debugfs files on whether
the dentry pointer is still set to NULL. CI has shown that the
ref_tracker_dir can be initialized more than once.

Apart from the network and mount namespace all other namespaces expose a
stable inode number and userspace has been relying on that for a very
long time now. It's very much heavily used API. Align the network
namespace and use a stable inode number from the reserved procfs inode
number space so this is consistent across all namespaces.

Before commit fed176bf31 ("net: Add ops_undo_single for module
load/unload."), if CONFIG_NET_NS=n, ops was linked to pernet_list
only when init_net had not been initialised, and ops was unlinked
from pernet_list only under the same condition.
Let's say an ops is loaded before the init_net setup but unloaded
after that. Then, the ops remains in pernet_list, which seems odd.
The cited commit added ops_undo_single(), which calls list_add() for
ops to link it to a temporary list, so a minor change was added to
__register_pernet_operations() and __unregister_pernet_operations()
under CONFIG_NET_NS=n to avoid the pernet_list corruption.
However, the corruption must have been left as is.
When CONFIG_NET_NS=n, pernet_list was used to keep ops registered
before the init_net setup, and after that, pernet_list was not used
at all.
This was because some ops annotated with __net_initdata are cleared
out of memory at some point during boot.
Then, such ops is initialised by POISON_FREE_INITMEM (0xcc), resulting
in that ops->list.{next,prev} suddenly switches from a valid pointer
to a weird value, 0xcccccccccccccccc.
To avoid such wild memory access, let's allow the pernet_list
corruption for CONFIG_NET_NS=n.

struct pernet_operations provides two batching hooks; ->exit_batch()
and ->exit_batch_rtnl().
The batching variant is beneficial if ->exit() meets any of the
following conditions:
1) ->exit() repeatedly acquires a global lock for each netns
2) ->exit() has a time-consuming operation that can be factored
out (e.g. synchronize_rcu(), smp_mb(), etc)
3) ->exit() does not need to repeat the same iterations for each
netns (e.g. inet_twsk_purge())
Currently, none of the ->exit_batch_rtnl() functions satisfy any of
the above conditions because RTNL is factored out and held by the
caller and all of these functions iterate over the dying netns list.
Also, we want to hold per-netns RTNL there but avoid spreading
__rtnl_net_lock() across multiple locations.
Let's add ->exit_rtnl() hook and run it under __rtnl_net_lock().
The following patches will convert all ->exit_batch_rtnl() users
to ->exit_rtnl().

If ops_init() fails while loading a module or we unload the
module, free_exit_list() rolls back the changes.
The rollback sequence is the same as ops_undo_list().
The ops is already removed from pernet_list before calling
free_exit_list(). If we link the ops to a temporary list,
we can reuse ops_undo_list().
Let's add a wrapper of ops_undo_list() and use it instead
of free_exit_list().
Now, we have the central place to roll back ops_init().

When we roll back the changes made by struct pernet_operations.init(),
we execute mostly identical sequences in three places.
* setup_net()
* cleanup_net()
* free_exit_list()
The only difference between the first two is which list and RCU helpers
to use.
In setup_net(), an ops could fail on the way, so we need to perform a
reverse walk from its previous ops in pernet_list. OTOH, in cleanup_net(),
we iterate the full list from tail to head.
The former passes the failed ops to list_for_each_entry_continue_reverse().
It's tricky, but we can reuse it for the latter if we pass list_entry() of
the head node.
Also, synchronize_rcu() and synchronize_rcu_expedited() can be easily
switched by an argument.
Let's factorise the rollback part in setup_net() and cleanup_net().
In the next patch, ops_undo_list() will be reused for free_exit_list(),
and then two arguments (ops_list and hold_rtnl) will differ.

Currently network taps unbound to any interface are linked in the
global ptype_all list, affecting the performance in all the network
namespaces.
Add per netns ptypes chains, so that in the mentioned case only
the netns owning the packet socket(s) is affected.
While at that drop the global ptype_all list: no in kernel user
registers a tap on "any" type without specifying either the target
device or the target namespace (and IMHO doing that would not make
any sense).
Note that this adds a conditional in the fast path (to check for
per netns ptype_specific list) and increases the dataset size by
a cacheline (owing the per netns lists).

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most significant set of changes is the per netns RTNL. The new
behavior is disabled by default, regression risk should be contained.
Notably the new config knob PTP_1588_CLOCK_VMCLOCK will inherit its
default value from PTP_1588_CLOCK_KVM, as the first is intended to be
a more reliable replacement for the latter.
Core:
- Started a very large, in-progress, effort to make the RTNL lock
scope per network-namespace, thus reducing the lock contention
significantly in the containerized use-case, comprising:
- RCU-ified some relevant slices of the FIB control path
- introduce basic per netns locking helpers
- namespacified the IPv4 address hash table
- remove rtnl_register{,_module}() in favour of
rtnl_register_many()
- refactor rtnl_{new,del,set}link() moving as much validation as
possible out of RTNL lock
- convert all phonet doit() and dumpit() handlers to RCU
- convert IPv4 addresses manipulation to per-netns RTNL
- convert virtual interface creation to per-netns RTNL
the per-netns lock infrastructure is guarded by the
CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL knob, disabled by default ad interim.
- Introduce NAPI suspension, to efficiently switching between busy
polling (NAPI processing suspended) and normal processing.
- Migrate the IPv4 routing input, output and control path from direct
ToS usage to DSCP macros. This is a work in progress to make ECN
handling consistent and reliable.
- Add drop reasons support to the IPv4 rotue input path, allowing
better introspection in case of packets drop.
- Make FIB seqnum lockless, dropping RTNL protection for read access.
- Make inet{,v6} addresses hashing less predicable.
- Allow providing timestamp OPT_ID via cmsg, to correlate TX packets
and timestamps
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Add small file operations for debugfs, to reduce the struct ops
size.
- Refactoring and optimization for the implementation of page_frag
API, This is a preparatory work to consolidate the page_frag
implementation.
Netfilter:
- Optimize set element transactions to reduce memory consumption
- Extended netlink error reporting for attribute parser failure.
- Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, giving users the
option to configure iptables without enabling any other config.
- Address a lot of false-positive RCU issues, pointed by recent CI
improvements.
BPF:
- Put xsk sockets on a struct diet and add various cleanups. Overall,
this helps to bump performance by 12% for some workloads.
- Extend BPF selftests to increase coverage of XDP features in
combination with BPF cpumap.
- Optimize and homogenize bpf_csum_diff helper for all archs and also
add a batch of new BPF selftests for it.
- Extend netkit with an option to delegate skb->{mark,priority}
scrubbing to its BPF program.
- Make the bpf_get_netns_cookie() helper available also to tc(x) BPF
programs.
Protocols:
- Introduces 4-tuple hash for connected udp sockets, speeding-up
significantly connected sockets lookup.
- Add a fastpath for some TCP timers that usually expires after
close, the socket lock contention.
- Add inbound and outbound xfrm state caches to speed up state
lookups.
- Avoid sending MPTCP advertisements on stale subflows, reducing
risks on loosing them.
- Make neighbours table flushing more scalable, maintaining per
device neigh lists.
Driver API:
- Introduce a unified interface to configure transmission H/W
shaping, and expose it to user-space via generic-netlink.
- Add support for per-NAPI config via netlink. This makes napi
configuration persistent across queues removal and re-creation.
Requires driver updates, currently supported drivers are:
nVidia/Mellanox mlx4 and mlx5, Broadcom brcm and Intel ice.
- Add ethtool support for writing SFP / PHY firmware blocks.
- Track RSS context allocation from ethtool core.
- Implement support for mirroring to DSA CPU port, via TC mirror
offload.
- Consolidate FDB updates notification, to avoid duplicates on
device-specific entries.
- Expose DPLL clock quality level to the user-space.
- Support master-slave PHY config via device tree.
Tests and tooling:
- forwarding: introduce deferred commands, to simplify the cleanup
phase
Drivers:
- Updated several drivers - Amazon vNic, Google vNic, Microsoft vNic,
Intel e1000e and Broadcom Tigon3 - to use netdev-genl to link the
IRQs and queues to NAPI IDs, allowing busy polling and better
introspection.

link_ops is protected by link_ops_mutex and no longer needs RTNL,
so we have no reason to have __rtnl_link_register() separately.

dummy.ko.
Note that both modules' init() work on init_net only, so we need
not export pernet_ops_rwsem and can use rtnl_net_lock() there.

The goal is to break RTNL down into per-netns mutex.
This patch adds per-netns mutex and its helper functions, rtnl_net_lock()
and rtnl_net_unlock().
rtnl_net_lock() acquires the global RTNL and per-netns RTNL mutex, and
rtnl_net_unlock() releases them.
We will replace 800+ rtnl_lock() with rtnl_net_lock() and finally removes
rtnl_lock() in rtnl_net_lock().
When we need to nest per-netns RTNL mutex, we will use __rtnl_net_lock(),
and its locking order is defined by rtnl_net_lock_cmp_fn() as follows:
1. init_net is first
2. netns address ascending order
Note that the conversion will be done under CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL
with LOCKDEP so that we can carefully add the extra mutex without slowing
down RTNL operations during conversion.

Pull 'struct fd' updates from Al Viro:
"Just the 'struct fd' layout change, with conversion to accessor
helpers"
* tag 'pull-stable-struct_fd' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
add struct fd constructors, get rid of __to_fd()
struct fd: representation change
introduce fd_file(), convert all accessors to it.
For any changes of struct fd representation we need to
turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers.
Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h,
1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in
explicit initializers).
Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to
new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that.
This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to
fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as
a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not
even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from
those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned
into a separate helper (fd_empty()).
NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it
might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit
that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

We can allocate per-netns memory for struct pernet_operations by specifying

register_pernet_operations() assigns an id to pernet_operations and later
ops_init() allocates the specified size of memory as net->gen->ptr[id].
If id is missing, no memory is allocated. If size is not specified,
pernet_operations just wastes an entry of net->gen->ptr[] for every netns.
net_generic is available only when both id and size are specified, so let's
ensure that.

net_alloc_generic is called by net_alloc, which is called without any
locking. It reads max_gen_ptrs, which is changed under pernet_ops_rwsem. It
is read twice, first to allocate an array, then to set s.len, which is
later used to limit the bounds of the array access.
It is possible that the array is allocated and another thread is
registering a new pernet ops, increments max_gen_ptrs, which is then used
to set s.len with a larger than allocated length for the variable array.
Fix it by reading max_gen_ptrs only once in net_alloc_generic. If
max_gen_ptrs is later incremented, it will be caught in net_assign_generic.
