[ Upstream commit 0bef512012b1cd8820f0c9ec80e5f8ceb43fdd59 ]

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

<title>ethtool: doc: clarify what drivers can implement in their get_drvinfo()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f20a0a0519f35a3a34236ed2d38b067c5cb22b9f</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

    kernel version")

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this
subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used.

<id>urn:sha1:ecb8fed408b6454606bbb3cd0edb083bf0ad162a</id>
<content type='text'>
Virtual netdevs should use NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE to forward GSO skbs
as-is and let the final drivers deal with them when supported.
Also remove NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4 from bonding and team drivers as it's
now included in the "software" list.

This driver can simply use the common infrastructure instead
of duplicating it.

This cleanup will ease u64_stats_t adoption in a single location.

For reporting the common set of SW timestamping capabilities, use
ethtool_op_get_ts_info() instead of re-implementing it.

<title>net: Do not take net_rwsem in __rtnl_link_unregister()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:554873e517115c4b7207259f1cadfd77d90b5395</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

netdevsim driver seems like a better place for fake SR-IOV
functionality.  Remove the code previously added to dummy.
