[PATCH net-next] rtnetlink: prepare for further rtnl lock pushdown/removal

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
Date: 2017-09-21 16:58:44

First patch adds a rudimentary vrf test case.

Remaining patches split large rtnl_fill_ifinfo into smaller chunks
to better see which parts

1. require rtnl
2. do not require it at all
3. rely on rtnl locking now but could be converted

add ASSERT_RTNL annotations/checks in a few spots as reminder for future
rtnl removal/pushdown patches.

[PATCH net-next 2/7] rtnetlink: add helper to put master ifindex

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
Date: 2017-09-21 16:58:51

rtnl_fill_ifinfo currently requires caller to hold the rtnl mutex.
Unfortunately the function is quite large which makes it harder to see
which spots need the lock, which spots assume it and which ones could do
without.

Add helpers to factor out the ifindex dumping.

One helper can use rcu to remove rtnl dependency.

[PATCH net-next 3/7] rtnetlink: add helper to dump qdisc name

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
Date: 2017-09-21 16:58:55

We can use rcu here to make this safe even if we would not hold rtnl,
qdisc_destroy uses call_rcu to delay free of the qdisc for one grace period.

Similarly for this patch -- subject references vf helper yet the code
changes flips netnsid as well.

Since rtnl_link_slave_info_fill and rtnl_link_info_fill are only called
by rtnl_link_fill and rtnl_link_fill is only called rtnl_fill_ifinfo
which as the ASSERT_RTNL why add to these lower functions as well?

similar to earlier patches, split out more parts of this function to
better see what is happening and where we assume rtnl is locked.

Right, anomly due to improper squash-merge.
I'll send a v2 tomorrow (giving more time for others to comment).

I'll remove this patch in v2 and will hold it back in my private queue;
these serve more as a reminder/TODO for myself rather than anything else.
