[ Upstream commit c849de7d8757a7af801fc4a4058f71d481d367f2 ]

Sashiko flags that genlmsg_reply() always consumes the skb.
The error path calls nlmsg_free(rsp) so we can't jump directly
to it. Let's not unbind, just propagate the error to the user.
This is the typical way of handling genlmsg_reply() failures.
They shouldn't happen unless user does something silly like
calling the kernel with an already-full rcvbuf.

[ Upstream commit 23fa6a23d97182d36ca3c71e43c804fa91e46a03 ]

Older drivers and drivers with lower queue counts often have a static
array of queues, rather than allocating structs for each queue on demand.
Add a helper for adding up qstats from a queue range. Expectation is
that driver will pass a queue range [netdev-&gt;real_num_*x_queues, MAX).
It was tempting to always use num_*x_queues as the end, but virtio
seems to clamp its queue count after allocating the netdev. And this
way we can trivaly reuse the helper for [0, real_..).

<content type='text'>
commit d1cacd74776895f6435941f86a1130e58f6dd226 upstream.

The NAPI IDs were not fully exposed to user space prior to the netlink
API, so they were never namespaced. The netlink API must ensure that
at the very least NAPI instance belongs to the same netns as the owner
of the genl sock.

napi_by_id() can become static now, but it needs to move because of
dev_get_by_napi_id().

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit fd48f071a3d6d51e737e953bb43fe69785cf59a9 ]

We use NAPI ID as the key for continuing dumps. We also depend
on the NAPIs being sorted by ID within the driver list. Tx NAPIs
(which don't have an ID assigned) break this expectation, it's
not currently possible to dump them reliably. Since Tx NAPIs
are relatively rare, and can't be used in doit (GET or SET)
hide them from the dump API as well.

[ Upstream commit 4a25201aa46ce88e8e31f9ccdec0e4e3dd6bb736 ]

Empty netlink responses from do() are not correct (as opposed to
dump() where not dumping anything is perfectly fine).
We should return an error if the target object does not exist,
in this case if the netdev is down we "hide" the NAPI instances.
