[ Upstream commit 07cc7b0b942bf55ef1a471470ecda8d2a6a6541f ]

Before commit addf9b90de22 ("net: rtnetlink: use rcu to free rtnl message
handlers"), once rtnl_msg_handlers[protocol] was allocated, the following
rtnl_register_module() for the same protocol never failed.

However, after the commit, rtnl_msg_handler[protocol][msgtype] needs to
be allocated in each rtnl_register_module(), so each call could fail.

Many callers of rtnl_register_module() do not handle the returned error,
and we need to add many error handlings.

To handle that easily, let's add wrapper functions for bulk registration
of rtnetlink message handlers.

[ Upstream commit f534f6581ec084fe94d6759f7672bd009794b07e ]

veth and vxcan need to make sure the ifindexes of the peer
are not negative, core does not validate this.

Using iproute2 with user-space-level checking removed:

Before:

  # ./ip link add index 10 type veth peer index -1
  # ip link show
  1: lo: &lt;LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP&gt; mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
  2: enp1s0: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 52:54:00:74:b2:03 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
  10: veth1@veth0: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST,M-DOWN&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 8a:90:ff:57:6d:5d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
  -1: veth0@veth1: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST,M-DOWN&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether ae:ed:18:e6:fa:7f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Now:

  $ ./ip link add index 10 type veth peer index -1
  Error: ifindex can't be negative.

This problem surfaced in net-next because an explicit WARN()
was added, the root cause is older.

Fixes: e6f8f1a739b6 ("veth: Allow to create peer link with given ifindex")
Fixes: a8f820a380a2 ("can: add Virtual CAN Tunnel driver (vxcan)")

<content type='text'>
Add a new rtnl flag (RTNL_FLAG_BULK_DEL_SUPPORTED) which is used to
verify that the delete operation allows bulk object deletion. Also emit
a warning if anyone tries to set it for non-delete kind.

In order to make rtnetlink ops that can create different
kinds of devices, like what we want to add to the WWAN
framework, the priv_size and setup parameters aren't quite
sufficient. Make this easier to manage by allowing ops to
allocate their own netdev via an @alloc method that gets
the tb netlink data.

Setting iftoken can fail for several different reasons but there
and there was no report to user as to the cause. Add netlink
extended errors to the processing of the request.

This requires adding additional argument through rtnl_af_ops
set_link_af callback.

<title>can: dev: Move device back to init netns on owning netns delete</title>

When a non-initial netns is destroyed, the usual policy is to delete
all virtual network interfaces contained, but move physical interfaces
back to the initial netns. This keeps the physical interface visible
on the system.

CAN devices are somewhat special, as they define rtnl_link_ops even
if they are physical devices. If a CAN interface is moved into a
non-initial netns, destroying that netns lets the interface vanish
instead of moving it back to the initial netns. default_device_exit()
skips CAN interfaces due to having rtnl_link_ops set. Reproducer:

  ip netns add foo
  ip link set can0 netns foo
  ip netns delete foo

To properly restore physical CAN devices to the initial netns on owning
netns exit, introduce a flag on rtnl_link_ops that can be set by drivers.
For CAN devices setting this flag, default_device_exit() considers them
non-virtual, applying the usual namespace move.

The issue was introduced in the commit mentioned below, as at that time
CAN devices did not have a dellink() operation.

Fixes: e008b5fc8dc7 ("net: Simplfy default_device_exit and improve batching.")
