neigh_add() updates pneigh_entry() found or created by pneigh_create().
This update is serialised by RTNL, but we will remove it.
Let's move the update part to pneigh_create() and make it return errno
instead of a pointer of pneigh_entry.
Now, the pneigh code is RTNL free.

tbl->phash_buckets[] is only modified in the slow path by pneigh_create()
and pneigh_delete() under the table lock.
Both of them are called under RTNL, so no extra lock is needed, but we
will remove RTNL from the paths.
pneigh_create() looks up a pneigh_entry, and this part can be lockless,
but it would complicate the logic like
1. lookup
2. allocate pengih_entry for GFP_KERNEL
3. lookup again but under lock
4. if found, return it after freeing the allocated memory
5. else, return the new one
Instead, let's add a per-table mutex and run lookup and allocation
under it.
Note that updating pneigh_entry part in neigh_add() is still protected
by RTNL and will be moved to pneigh_create() in the next patch.

Now, all callers of pneigh_lookup() are under RCU, and the read
lock there is no longer needed.
Let's drop the lock, inline __pneigh_lookup_1() to pneigh_lookup(),
and call it from pneigh_create().
The next patch will remove tbl->lock from pneigh_create().

__pneigh_lookup() is the lockless version of pneigh_lookup(),
but its only caller pndisc_is_router() holds the table lock and
reads pneigh_netry.flags.
This is because accessing pneigh_entry after pneigh_lookup() was
illegal unless the caller holds RTNL or the table lock.
Now, pneigh_entry is guaranteed to be alive during the RCU critical
section.
Let's call pneigh_lookup() and use READ_ONCE() for n->flags in
pndisc_is_router() and remove __pneigh_lookup().

We will convert pneigh readers to RCU, and its flags and protocol
will be read locklessly.
Let's annotate the access to the two fields.
Note that all access to pn->permanent is under RTNL (neigh_add()
and pneigh_ifdown_and_unlock()), so WRITE_ONCE() and READ_ONCE()
are not needed.

We will convert RTM_GETNEIGH to RCU.
neigh_get() looks up pneigh_entry by pneigh_lookup() and passes
it to pneigh_fill_info().
Then, we must ensure that the entry is alive till pneigh_fill_info()
completes, but read_lock_bh(&tbl->lock) in pneigh_lookup() does not
guarantee that.
Also, we will convert all readers of tbl->phash_buckets[] to RCU.
Let's use call_rcu() to free pneigh_entry and update phash_buckets[]
and ->next by rcu_assign_pointer().
pneigh_ifdown_and_unlock() uses list_head to avoid overwriting
->next and moving RCU iterators to another list.
pndisc_destructor() (only IPv6 ndisc uses this) uses a mutex, so it
is not delayed to call_rcu(), where we cannot sleep. This is fine
because the mcast code works with RCU and ipv6_dev_mc_dec() frees
mcast objects after RCU grace period.
While at it, we change the return type of pneigh_ifdown_and_unlock()
to void.

The next patch will free pneigh_entry with call_rcu().
Then, we need to annotate neigh_table.phash_buckets[] and
pneigh_entry.next with __rcu.
To make the next patch cleaner, let's annotate the fields in advance.
Currently, all accesses to the fields are under the neigh table lock,
so rcu_dereference_protected() is used with 1 for now, but most of them
(except in pneigh_delete() and pneigh_ifdown_and_unlock()) will be
replaced with rcu_dereference() and rcu_dereference_check().
Note that pneigh_ifdown_and_unlock() changes pneigh_entry.next to a
local list, which is illegal because the RCU iterator could be moved
to another list. This part will be fixed in the next patch.

pneigh_lookup() has ASSERT_RTNL() in the middle of the function, which
is confusing.
When called with the last argument, creat, 0, pneigh_lookup() literally
looks up a proxy neighbour entry. This is the case of the reader path
as the fast path and RTM_GETNEIGH.
pneigh_lookup(), however, creates a pneigh_entry when called with creat 1
from RTM_NEWNEIGH and SIOCSARP, which require RTNL.
Let's split pneigh_lookup() into two functions.
We will convert all the reader paths to RCU, and read_lock_bh(&tbl->lock)
in the new pneigh_lookup() will be dropped.

neigh_valid_get_req() calls neigh_find_table() to fetch neigh_tables[].
neigh_find_table() uses rcu_dereference_rtnl(), but RTNL actually does
not protect it at all; neigh_table_clear() can be called without RTNL
and only waits for RCU readers by synchronize_rcu().
Fortunately, there is no bug because IPv4 is built-in, IPv6 cannot be
unloaded, and DECNET was removed.
To fetch neigh_tables[] by rcu_dereference() later, let's move
neigh_find_table() from neigh_valid_get_req() to neigh_get().

rtnl_unicast() is factorised.

A net device has a threaded sysctl that can be used to enable threaded
NAPI polling on all of the NAPI contexts under that device. Allow
enabling threaded NAPI polling at individual NAPI level using netlink.
Extend the netlink operation `napi-set` and allow setting the threaded
attribute of a NAPI. This will enable the threaded polling on a NAPI
context.
Add a test in `nl_netdev.py` that verifies various cases of threaded
NAPI being set at NAPI and at device level.

This is a follow-up for commit eb1ac9ff6c4a5 ("ipv6: anycast: Don't
hold RTNL for IPV6_JOIN_ANYCAST.").
We should not add a new device lookup API without netdevice_tracker.
Let's pass netdevice_tracker to dev_get_by_flags_rcu() and rename it
with netdev_ prefix to match other newer APIs.
Note that we always use GFP_ATOMIC for netdev_hold() as it's expected
to be called under RCU.

MSG_ZEROCOPY data must be copied before data is queued to local
sockets, to avoid indefinite timeout until memory release.
This test is performed by skb_orphan_frags_rx, which is called when
looping an egress skb to packet sockets, error queue or ingress path.
To preserve zerocopy for skbs that are looped to ingress but are then
forwarded to an egress device rather than delivered locally, defer
this last check until an skb enters the local IP receive path.
This is analogous to existing behavior of skb_clear_delivery_time.

At the time of commit bc51dddf98c9 ("netns: avoid disabling irq
for netns id") peernet2id() was not yet using RCU.
Commit 2dce224f469f ("netns: protect netns
ID lookups with RCU") changed peernet2id() to no longer
acquire net->nsid_lock (potentially from BH context).
We do not need to block soft interrupts when acquiring
net->nsid_lock anymore.

tl;dr
=====
Add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid") that can be used to indicate to
the kernel that a neighbor entry was learned and determined to be valid
externally. The kernel will not try to remove or invalidate such an
entry, leaving these decisions to the user space control plane. This is
needed for EVPN multi-homing where a neighbor entry for a multi-homed
host needs to be synced across all the VTEPs among which the host is
multi-homed.
Background
==========
In a typical EVPN multi-homing setup each host is multi-homed using a
set of links called ES (Ethernet Segment, i.e., LAG) to multiple leaf
switches (VTEPs). VTEPs that are connected to the same ES are called ES
peers.
When a neighbor entry is learned on a VTEP, it is distributed to both ES
peers and remote VTEPs using EVPN MAC/IP advertisement routes. ES peers
use the neighbor entry when routing traffic towards the multi-homed host
and remote VTEPs use it for ARP/NS suppression.
Motivation
==========
If the ES link between a host and the VTEP on which the neighbor entry
was locally learned goes down, the EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route will
be withdrawn and the neighbor entries will be removed from both ES peers
and remote VTEPs. Routing towards the multi-homed host and ARP/NS
suppression can fail until another ES peer locally learns the neighbor
entry and distributes it via an EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route.
"draft-rbickhart-evpn-ip-mac-proxy-adv-03" [1] suggests avoiding these
intermittent failures by having the ES peers install the neighbor
entries as before, but also injecting EVPN MAC/IP advertisement routes
with a proxy indication. When the previously mentioned ES link goes down
and the original EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route is withdrawn, the ES
peers will not withdraw their neighbor entries, but instead start aging
timers for the proxy indication.
If an ES peer locally learns the neighbor entry (i.e., it becomes
"reachable"), it will restart its aging timer for the entry and emit an
EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route without a proxy indication. An ES peer
will stop its aging timer for the proxy indication if it observes the
removal of the proxy indication from at least one of the ES peers
advertising the entry.
In the event that the aging timer for the proxy indication expired, an
ES peer will withdraw its EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route. If the timer
expired on all ES peers and they all withdrew their proxy
advertisements, the neighbor entry will be completely removed from the
EVPN fabric.
Implementation
==============
In the above scheme, when the control plane (e.g., FRR) advertises a
neighbor entry with a proxy indication, it expects the corresponding
entry in the data plane (i.e., the kernel) to remain valid and not be
removed due to garbage collection or loss of carrier. The control plane
also expects the kernel to notify it if the entry was learned locally
(i.e., became "reachable") so that it will remove the proxy indication
from the EVPN MAC/IP advertisement route. That is why these entries
cannot be programmed with dummy states such as "permanent" or "noarp".
Instead, add a new neighbor flag ("extern_valid") which indicates that
the entry was learned and determined to be valid externally and should
not be removed or invalidated by the kernel. The kernel can probe the
entry and notify user space when it becomes "reachable" (it is initially
installed as "stale"). However, if the kernel does not receive a
confirmation, have it return the entry to the "stale" state instead of
the "failed" state.
In other words, an entry marked with the "extern_valid" flag behaves
like any other dynamically learned entry other than the fact that the
kernel cannot remove or invalidate it.
One can argue that the "extern_valid" flag should not prevent garbage
collection and that instead a neighbor entry should be programmed with
both the "extern_valid" and "extern_learn" flags. There are two reasons
for not doing that:
1. Unclear why a control plane would like to program an entry that the
kernel cannot invalidate but can completely remove.
2. The "extern_learn" flag is used by FRR for neighbor entries learned
on remote VTEPs (for ARP/NS suppression) whereas here we are
concerned with local entries. This distinction is currently irrelevant
for the kernel, but might be relevant in the future.
Given that the flag only makes sense when the neighbor has a valid
state, reject attempts to add a neighbor with an invalid state and with
this flag set. For example:
# ip neigh add 192.0.2.1 nud none dev br0.10 extern_valid
Error: Cannot create externally validated neighbor with an invalid state.
# ip neigh add 192.0.2.1 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 nud stale dev br0.10 extern_valid
# ip neigh replace 192.0.2.1 nud failed dev br0.10 extern_valid
Error: Cannot mark neighbor as externally validated with an invalid state.
The above means that a neighbor cannot be created with the
"extern_valid" flag and flags such as "use" or "managed" as they result
in a neighbor being created with an invalid state ("none") and
immediately getting probed:
# ip neigh add 192.0.2.1 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 nud stale dev br0.10 extern_valid use
Error: Cannot create externally validated neighbor with an invalid state.
However, these flags can be used together with "extern_valid" after the
neighbor was created with a valid state:
# ip neigh add 192.0.2.1 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 nud stale dev br0.10 extern_valid
# ip neigh replace 192.0.2.1 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 nud stale dev br0.10 extern_valid use
One consequence of preventing the kernel from invalidating a neighbor
entry is that by default it will only try to determine reachability
using unicast probes. This can be changed using the "mcast_resolicit"
sysctl:
# sysctl net.ipv4.neigh.br0/10.mcast_resolicit
0
# tcpdump -nn -e -i br0.10 -Q out arp &
# ip neigh replace 192.0.2.1 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 nud stale dev br0.10 extern_valid use
