[ Upstream commit 6348be02eead77bdd1562154ed6b3296ad3b3750 ]

fdget() is the first thing done in scope, all matching fdput() are
immediately followed by leaving the scope.

[ Upstream commit e57a6320215c3967f51ab0edeff87db2095440e4 ]

net_drop_ns() is NULL when CONFIG_NET_NS is disabled.

The next patch introduces a function that increments
and decrements net-&gt;passive.

As a prep, let's rename and export net_free() to
net_passive_dec() and add net_passive_inc().

[ Upstream commit 0f6ede9fbc747e2553612271bce108f7517e7a45 ]

Ilya reported a slab-use-after-free in dst_destroy [1]

Issue is in xfrm6_net_init() and xfrm4_net_init() :

They copy xfrm[46]_dst_ops_template into net-&gt;xfrm.xfrm[46]_dst_ops.

But net structure might be freed before all the dst callbacks are
called. So when dst_destroy() calls later :

if (dst-&gt;ops-&gt;destroy)
    dst-&gt;ops-&gt;destroy(dst);

dst-&gt;ops points to the old net-&gt;xfrm.xfrm[46]_dst_ops, which has been freed.

See a relevant issue fixed in :

ac888d58869b ("net: do not delay dst_entries_add() in dst_release()")

A fix is to queue the 'struct net' to be freed after one
another cleanup_net() round (and existing rcu_barrier())

<content type='text'>
	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(...).

Commit 7c3f1875c66f ("net: move somaxconn init from sysctl code")
introduced net_defaults_ops to make sure that net.core sysctl knobs
are always initialised even if CONFIG_SYSCTL is disabled.

Such operations better fit preinit_net() added for a similar purpose
by commit 6e77a5a4af05 ("net: initialize net-&gt;notrefcnt_tracker earlier").

Let's initialise the sysctl defaults in preinit_net().

When initialising the root netns, we call preinit_net() under
pernet_ops_rwsem.

However, the operations in preinit_net() do not require pernet_ops_rwsem.

Also, we don't hold it for preinit_net() when initialising non-root netns.

To be consistent, let's call preinit_net() without pernet_ops_rwsem in
net_ns_init().

When initialising the root netns, we set net-&gt;passive in setup_net().

However, we do it twice for non-root netns in copy_net_ns() and
setup_net().

This is because we could bypass setup_net() in copy_net_ns() if
down_read_killable() fails.

preinit_net() is a better place to put such an operation.

Let's initialise net-&gt;passive in preinit_net().

We can allocate per-netns memory for struct pernet_operations by specifying
id and size.

register_pernet_operations() assigns an id to pernet_operations and later
ops_init() allocates the specified size of memory as net-&gt;gen-&gt;ptr[id].

If id is missing, no memory is allocated.  If size is not specified,
pernet_operations just wastes an entry of net-&gt;gen-&gt;ptr[] for every netns.

net_generic is available only when both id and size are specified, so let's
ensure that.

While we are at it, we add const to both fields.
