introduced netif_ vs dev_ function semantics: the former expects locked
netdev, the latter takes care of the locking. We don't strictly
follow this semantics on either side, but there are more dev_xxx handlers
now that don't fit. Rename them to netif_xxx where appropriate.

Drivers which opt into instance lock protection of ops should
only call set_real_num_*_queues() under the instance lock.
This means that queue counts are double protected (writes
are under both rtnl_lock and instance lock, readers under
either).
Some readers may still be under the rtnl_lock, however, so for
now we need double protection of writers.
OTOH queue API paths are only under the protection of the instance
lock, so we need to validate that the instance is actually locking
ops, otherwise the input checks we do against queue count are racy.

RFS is using two kinds of hash tables.
First one is controlled by /proc/sys/net/core/rps_sock_flow_entries = 2^N
and using the N low order bits of the l4 hash is good enough.
Then each RX queue has its own hash table, controlled by
/sys/class/net/eth1/queues/rx-$q/rps_flow_cnt = 2^X
Current hash function, using the X low order bits is suboptimal,
because RSS is usually using Func(hash) = (hash % power_of_two);
For example, with 32 RX queues, 6 low order bits have no entropy
for a given queue.
Switch this hash function to hash_32(hash, log) to increase
chances to use all possible slots and reduce collisions.

Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to
a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity
and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching

The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used
in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used

Rx/tx queues embed their own kobject for registering their per-queue
sysfs files. The issue is they're using the kobject default groups for
this and entirely rely on the kobject refcounting for releasing their
sysfs paths.
In order to remove rtnl_trylock calls we need sysfs files not to rely on
their associated kobject refcounting for their release. Thus we here
move queues sysfs files from the kobject default groups to their own
groups which can be removed separately.

There is an ABBA deadlock between net device unregistration and sysfs
files being accessed[1][2]. To prevent this from happening all paths
taking the rtnl lock after the sysfs one (actually kn->active refcount)
use rtnl_trylock and return early (using restart_syscall)[3], which can
make syscalls to spin for a long time when there is contention on the
rtnl lock[4].
There are not many possibilities to improve the above:
- Rework the entire net/ locking logic.
- Invert two locks in one of the paths — not possible.
But here it's actually possible to drop one of the locks safely: the
kernfs_node refcount. More details in the code itself, which comes with
lots of comments.
Note that we check the device is alive in the added sysfs_rtnl_lock
helper to disallow sysfs operations to run after device dismantle has
started. This also help keeping the same behavior as before. Because of
this calls to dev_isalive in sysfs ops were removed.

if (dev->class && dev->class->ns_type)

it is found for all existing class definitions that the other filed is
also assigned once one is assigned in current kernel tree, so fix this

In commit 6f8b12d661 ("net: napi: add hard irqs deferral feature")
napi_defer_irqs was added to net_device and napi_defer_irqs_count was
added to napi_struct, both as type int.
This value never goes below zero, so there is not reason for it to be a
signed int. Change the type for both from int to u32, and add an
overflow check to sysfs to limit the value to S32_MAX.
The limit of S32_MAX was chosen because the practical limit before this
patch was S32_MAX (anything larger was an overflow) and thus there are
no behavioral changes introduced. If the extra bit is needed in the
future, the limit can be raised.
Before this patch:
$ sudo bash -c 'echo 2147483649 > /sys/class/net/eth4/napi_defer_hard_irqs'
$ cat /sys/class/net/eth4/napi_defer_hard_irqs

When CONFIG_DQL is not enabled, dql_group should be treated as a dead
declaration. However, its current extern declaration assumes the linker
will ignore it, which is generally true across most compiler and
architecture combinations.
But in certain cases, the linker still attempts to resolve the extern
struct, even when the associated code is dead, resulting in a linking
error. For instance the following error in loongarch64:
>> loongarch64-linux-ld: net-sysfs.c:(.text+0x589c): undefined reference to `dql_group'
Modify the declaration of the dead object to be an empty declaration
instead of an extern. This change will prevent the linker from
attempting to resolve an undefined reference.

Also, change its alignment from %NETDEV_ALIGN to the cacheline size

softnet_data->time_squeeze is sometimes used as a proxy for
host overload or indication of scheduling problems. In practice
this statistic is very noisy and has hard to grasp units -
e.g. is 10 squeezes a second to be expected, or high?
Delaying network (NAPI) processing leads to drops on NIC queues
but also RTT bloat, impacting pacing and CA decisions.
Stalls are a little hard to detect on the Rx side, because
there may simply have not been any packets received in given
period of time. Packet timestamps help a little bit, but
again we don't know if packets are stale because we're
not keeping up or because someone (*cough* cgroups)
disabled IRQs for a long time.
We can, however, use Tx as a proxy for Rx stalls. Most drivers
use combined Rx+Tx NAPIs so if Tx gets starved so will Rx.
On the Tx side we know exactly when packets get queued,
and completed, so there is no uncertainty.
This patch adds stall checks to BQL. Why BQL? Because
it's a convenient place to add such checks, already
called by most drivers, and it has copious free space
in its structures (this patch adds no extra cache
references or dirtying to the fast path).
The algorithm takes one parameter - max delay AKA stall
threshold and increments a counter whenever NAPI got delayed
for at least that amount of time. It also records the length
of the longest stall.
To be precise every time NAPI has not polled for at least
stall thrs we check if there were any Tx packets queued
between last NAPI run and now - stall_thrs/2.
Unlike the classic Tx watchdog this mechanism does not
ignore stalls caused by Tx being disabled, or loss of link.
I don't think the check is worth the complexity, and
stall is a stall, whether due to host overload, flow
control, link down... doesn't matter much to the application.
We have been running this detector in production at Meta
for 2 years, with the threshold of 8ms. It's the lowest
value where false positives become rare. There's still
a constant stream of reported stalls (especially without
the ksoftirqd deferral patches reverted), those who like
their stall metrics to be 0 may prefer higher value.

Creation of sysfs entries is expensive, mainly for workloads that
constantly creates netdev and netns often.
Do not create BQL sysfs entries for devices that don't need,
basically those that do not have a real queue, i.e, devices that has
NETIF_F_LLTX and IFF_NO_QUEUE, such as `lo` interface.
This will remove the /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/tx-X/byte_queue_limits/
directory for these devices.
In the example below, eth0 has the `byte_queue_limits` directory but not
`lo`.
# ls /sys/class/net/lo/queues/tx-0/
traffic_class tx_maxrate tx_timeout xps_cpus xps_rxqs
# ls /sys/class/net/eth0/queues/tx-0/byte_queue_limits/
hold_time inflight limit limit_max limit_min
This also removes the #ifdefs, since we can also use netdev_uses_bql() to
check if the config is enabled. (as suggested by Jakub).

My previous patch added a call to linkwatch_sync_dev(),
but that of course needs to be called under RTNL, which
I missed earlier, but now saw RCU warnings from.
Fix that by acquiring the RTNL in a similar fashion to
how other files do it here.

There are multiple ways to query for the carrier state: through
rtnetlink, sysfs, and (possibly) ethtool. Synchronize linkwatch
work before these operations so that we don't have a situation
where userspace queries the carrier state between the driver's
carrier off->on transition and linkwatch running and expects it
to work, when really (at least) TX cannot work until linkwatch
has run.
I previously posted a longer explanation of how this applies to
wireless [1] but with this wireless can simply query the state
before sending data, to ensure the kernel is ready for it.

struct netdev_rx_queue is touched in only a few places
and having it defined in netdevice.h brings in the dependency
on xdp.h, because struct xdp_rxq_info gets embedded in
struct netdev_rx_queue.
In prep for removal of xdp.h from netdevice.h move all
the netdev_rx_queue stuff to a new header.
We could technically break the new header up to avoid
the sysfs.h include but it's so rarely included it
doesn't seem to be worth it at this point.

That really was meant to be a per netns attribute from the beginning.
The idea is that once proper isolation is in place in the main
namespace, additional demux in the child namespaces will be redundant.
Let's make child netns default rps mask empty by default.
To avoid bloating the netns with a possibly large cpumask, allocate
it on-demand during the first write operation.

If RPS is enabled, this allows configuring a default rps
mask, which is effective since receive queue creation time.
A default RPS mask allows the system admin to ensure proper
isolation, avoiding races at network namespace or device
creation time.
The default RPS mask is initially empty, and can be
modified via a newly added sysctl entry.

Here is the set of driver core and kernfs changes for 6.2-rc1.
The "big" change in here is the addition of a new macro,
container_of_const() that will preserve the "const-ness" of a pointer
passed into it.
The "problem" of the current container_of() macro is that if you pass in
a "const *", out of it can comes a non-const pointer unless you
specifically ask for it. For many usages, we want to preserve the
"const" attribute by using the same call. For a specific example, this
series changes the kobj_to_dev() macro to use it, allowing it to be used
no matter what the const value is. This prevents every subsystem from
having to declare 2 different individual macros (i.e.
kobj_const_to_dev() and kobj_to_dev()) and having the compiler enforce
the const value at build time, which having 2 macros would not do
either.
The driver for all of this have been discussions with the Rust kernel
developers as to how to properly mark driver core, and kobject, objects
as being "non-mutable". The changes to the kobject and driver core in
this pull request are the result of that, as there are lots of paths
where kobjects and device pointers are not modified at all, so marking
them as "const" allows the compiler to enforce this.
So, a nice side affect of the Rust development effort has been already
to clean up the driver core code to be more obvious about object rules.
All of this has been bike-shedded in quite a lot of detail on lkml with
different names and implementations resulting in the tiny version we
have in here, much better than my original proposal. Lots of subsystem
maintainers have acked the changes as well.
Other than this change, included in here are smaller stuff like:
- kernfs fixes and updates to handle lock contention better
- vmlinux.lds.h fixes and updates
- sysfs and debugfs documentation updates
- device property updates
All of these have been in the linux-next tree for quite a while with no
problems, OTHER than some merge issues with other trees that should be
obvious when you hit them (block tree deletes a driver that this tree
modifies, iommufd tree modifies code that this tree also touches). If
there are merge problems with these trees, please let me know.

The call, kobject_get_ownership(), does not modify the kobject passed
into it, so make it const. This propagates down into the kobj_type
function callbacks so make the kobject passed into them also const,
ensuring that nothing in the kobject is being changed here.
This helps make it more obvious what calls and callbacks do, and do not,
modify structures passed to them.

The callbacks in struct class namespace() and get_ownership() do not
modify the struct device passed to them, so mark the pointer as constant
and fix up all callbacks in the kernel to have the correct function
signature.
This helps make it more obvious what calls and callbacks do, and do not,
modify structures passed to them.
