This patch series converts struct vxlan_config to RCU protection, eliminates redundant destination fields, and enables lockless RTNL-free link dumping in vxlan_fill_info(). Changes in v5: - Widen vxlan_multicast_leave() and vxlan_multicast_join() conditions in vxlan_changelink() to also run when VXLAN_F_VNIFILTER is set, so per-VNI multicast memberships are migrated across lower-device changes even when the device-default remote_ip is 0.0.0.0 (patches 1, 6, 7). - Unwind already-updated per-VNI entries and the device-wide default FDB entry if vxlan_vnilist_update_group() fails partway through in vxlan_changelink() (patches 1, 7). - Bump the vnifilter dump generation counter inside vxlan_vni_update_group() as soon as vninode->remote_ip is overwritten, so concurrent dumps still observe NLM_F_DUMP_INTR if a subsequent IGMP leave/join fails (patch 3). - In vxlan_config_validate(), reject clearing IFLA_VXLAN_LINK when VXLAN_F_VNIFILTER has per-VNI multicast groups configured (patch 7). - In vxlan_config_apply(), reset dev->needed_tailroom when detaching a lower device and use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for dev->mtu (patch 7). - Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260915175501.391567-1-edumazet@google.com/ (local) Changes in v4: - Split out the default FDB update fix when the lower device changes into patch 1 with a Fixes: tag, and updated vxlan_vnilist_update_group() to refresh all VNIs (including those with explicit per-VNI multicast groups) so their FDB entries do not retain a stale remote_ifindex. Kept in this series rather than routing through net to avoid a cross-tree conflict with the default_dst removal in patch 7. - Added patch 3 to signal interrupted RTM_GETTUNNEL dumps to user space via a per-netns atomic generation counter and nl_dump_check_consistent(), per Paolo's suggestion. - Added an explicit VXLAN_DEV_F_MDB check in mlxsw_sp_nve_vxlan_can_offload() so moving VXLAN_F_MDB out of cfg->flags does not silently relax mlxsw's deny-by-default flag validation (patch 5). - In vxlan_config_apply(), gated the MTU clamp on lowerdev_changed so that unrelated changelink operations do not shrink dev->mtu (patch 7). - Documented in patch 7's changelog that cfg->remote_ifindex is now committed unconditionally and that IFLA_VXLAN_LINK=0 tears down the upper/lower adjacency. - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260911033945.164207-1-edumazet@google.com/ Changes in v3: - Folded configuration conversion patches into a single patch to maintain clean bisectability and avoid intermediate mutable state. - In vxlan_changelink(), pass lowerdev to vxlan_config_apply() to prevent truncating dev->needed_headroom and dev->needed_tailroom when lowerdev does not change. - Cleaned up redundant NULL checks and unreachable error paths.
