net: extract a few internals from netdevice.h There's a number of functions and static variables used under net/core/ but not from the outside. We currently dump most of them into netdevice.h. That bad for many reasons: - netdevice.h is very cluttered, hard to figure out what the APIs are; - netdevice.h is very long; - we have to touch netdevice.h more which causes expensive incremental builds. Create a header under net/core/ and move some declarations. The new header is also a bit of a catch-all but that's fine, if we create more specific headers people will likely over-think where their declaration fit best. And end up putting them in netdevice.h, again. More work should be done on splitting netdevice.h into more targeted headers, but that'd be more time consuming so small steps.

net: add skb_defer_max sysctl commit 68822bdf76f1 ("net: generalize skb freeing deferral to per-cpu lists") added another per-cpu cache of skbs. It was expected to be small, and an IPI was forced whenever the list reached 128 skbs. We might need to be able to control more precisely queue capacity and added latency. An IPI is generated whenever queue reaches half capacity. Default value of the new limit is 64. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

net: check for altname conflicts when changing netdev's netns It's currently possible to create an altname conflicting with an altname or real name of another device by creating it in another netns and moving it over: [ ~]$ ip link add dev eth0 type dummy [ ~]$ ip netns add test [ ~]$ ip -netns test link add dev ethX netns test type dummy [ ~]$ ip -netns test link property add dev ethX altname eth0 [ ~]$ ip -netns test link set dev ethX netns 1 [ ~]$ ip link ... 3: eth0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 02:40:88:62:ec:b8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ... 5: ethX: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 26:b7:28:78:38:0f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff altname eth0 Create a macro for walking the altnames, this hopefully makes it clearer that the list we walk contains only altnames. Which is otherwise not entirely intuitive.

rtnetlink: pass netlink message header and portid to rtnl_configure_link() This patch pass netlink message header and portid to rtnl_configure_link() All the functions in this call chain need to add the parameters so we can use them in the last call rtnl_notify(), and notify the userspace about the new link info if NLM_F_ECHO flag is set. - rtnl_configure_link() - __dev_notify_flags() - rtmsg_ifinfo() - rtmsg_ifinfo_event() - rtmsg_ifinfo_build_skb() - rtmsg_ifinfo_send() - rtnl_notify() Also move __dev_notify_flags() declaration to net/core/dev.h, as Jakub suggested.

net: add gso_ipv4_max_size and gro_ipv4_max_size per device This patch introduces gso_ipv4_max_size and gro_ipv4_max_size per device and adds netlink attributes for them, so that IPV4 BIG TCP can be guarded by a separate tunable in the next patch. To not break the old application using "gso/gro_max_size" for IPv4 GSO packets, this patch updates "gso/gro_ipv4_max_size" in netif_set_gso/gro_max_size() if the new size isn't greater than GSO_LEGACY_MAX_SIZE, so that nothing will change even if userspace doesn't realize the new netlink attributes.
