Currently, HSR manages mac addresses of known HSR nodes by using list_head.
It takes a lot of time when there are a lot of registered nodes due to
finding specific mac address nodes by using linear search. We can be
reducing the time by using hlist. Thus, this patch moves list_head to
hlist_head for mac addresses and this allows for further improvement of
network performance.
Condition: registered 10,000 known HSR nodes

Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) is another redundancy protocol
introduced by IEC 63439 standard. It is similar to HSR in many
aspects:-
- Use a pair of Ethernet interfaces to created the PRP device
- Use a 6 byte redundancy protocol part (RCT, Redundancy Check
Trailer) similar to HSR Tag.
- Has Link Redundancy Entity (LRE) that works with RCT to implement
redundancy.
Key difference is that the protocol unit is a trailer instead of a
prefix as in HSR. That makes it inter-operable with tradition network
components such as bridges/switches which treat it as pad bytes,
whereas HSR nodes requires some kind of translators (Called redbox) to
talk to regular network devices. This features allows regular linux box
to be converted to a DAN-P box. DAN-P stands for Dual Attached Node - PRP
similar to DAN-H (Dual Attached Node - HSR).
Add a comment at the header/source code to explicitly state that the
driver files also handles PRP protocol as well.

When an interface is being deleted, "/proc/net/dev_snmp6/<interface name>"
is deleted.
The function for this is addrconf_ifdown() in the addrconf_notify() and
it is called by notification, which is NETDEV_UNREGISTER.
But, if NETDEV_CHANGEMTU is triggered after NETDEV_UNREGISTER,
this proc file will be created again.
This recreated proc file will be deleted by netdev_wati_allrefs().
Before netdev_wait_allrefs() is called, creating a new HSR interface
routine can be executed and It tries to create a proc file but it will
find an un-deleted proc file.
At this point, it warns about it.
To avoid this situation, it can use ->dellink() instead of
->ndo_uninit() to release resources because ->dellink() is called
before NETDEV_UNREGISTER.
So, a proc file will not be recreated.
Test commands
ip link add dummy0 type dummy
ip link add dummy1 type dummy
ip link set dummy0 mtu 1300
#SHELL1
while :
do
ip link add hsr0 type hsr slave1 dummy0 slave2 dummy1
done
#SHELL2
while :
do
ip link del hsr0
done

userspace.
Test commands:
ip link add dummy0 type dummy
ip link add dummy1 type dummy
ip link add hsr0 type hsr slave1 dummy0 slave2 dummy1 version 4
In the test commands, version 4 is invalid.
So, the command should be failed.

The hsr module has been supporting the list and status command.
(HSR_C_GET_NODE_LIST and HSR_C_GET_NODE_STATUS)
These commands send node information to the user-space via generic netlink.
But, in the non-init_net namespace, these commands are not allowed
because .netnsok flag is false.
So, there is no way to get node information in the non-init_net namespace.

hsr_get_node_{list/status}() are not under rtnl_lock() because
they are callback functions of generic netlink.
But they use __dev_get_by_index() without rtnl_lock().
So, it would use unsafe data.
In order to fix it, rcu_read_lock() and dev_get_by_index_rcu()
are used instead of __dev_get_by_index().

In order to access the port list, the hsr_port_get_hsr() is used.
And this is protected by RTNL and RCU.
The hsr_fill_info(), hsr_check_carrier(), hsr_dev_open() and
hsr_get_max_mtu() are protected by RTNL.
So, rcu_read_lock() in these functions are not necessary.
The hsr_handle_frame() also uses rcu_read_lock() but this function
is called by packet path.
It's already protected by RCU.
So, the rcu_read_lock() in hsr_handle_frame() can be removed.

Switching from ->priv_destructor to dellink() has an unexpected
consequence: existing RCU readers, that is, hsr_port_get_hsr()
callers, may still be able to read the port list.
Instead of checking the return value of each hsr_port_get_hsr(),
we can just move it to ->ndo_uninit() which is called after
device unregister and synchronize_net(), and we still have RTNL
lock there.

hsr_link_ops implements ->newlink() but not ->dellink(),
which leads that resources not released after removing the device,
particularly the entries in self_node_db and node_db.
So add ->dellink() implementation to replace the priv_destructor.
This also makes the code slightly easier to understand.

Add options to strictly validate messages and dump messages,
sometimes perhaps validating dump messages non-strictly may
be required, so add an option for that as well.
Since none of this can really be applied to existing commands,
set the options everwhere using the following spatch:
@@
identifier ops;
expression X;
@@
struct genl_ops ops[] = {
...,
{
.cmd = X,
+ .validate = GENL_DONT_VALIDATE_STRICT | GENL_DONT_VALIDATE_DUMP,
...
},
...
};
For new commands one should just not copy the .validate 'opt-out'
flags and thus get strict validation.

Since maxattr is common, the policy can't really differ sanely,
so make it common as well.
The only user that did in fact manage to make a non-common policy
is taskstats, which has to be really careful about it (since it's
still using a common maxattr!). This is no longer supported, but
we can fake it using pre_doit.
This reduces the size of e.g. nl80211.o (which has lots of commands):
text data bss dec hex filename
398745 14323 2240 415308 6564c net/wireless/nl80211.o (before)
397913 14331 2240 414484 65314 net/wireless/nl80211.o (after)
--------------------------------
-832 +8 0 -824
Which is obviously just 8 bytes for each command, and an added 8
bytes for the new policy pointer. I'm not sure why the ops list is
counted as .text though.
Most of the code transformations were done using the following spatch:
@ops@
identifier OPS;
expression POLICY;
@@
struct genl_ops OPS[] = {
...,
{
- .policy = POLICY,
},
...
};
@@
identifier ops.OPS;
expression ops.POLICY;
identifier fam;
expression M;
@@
struct genl_family fam = {
.ops = OPS,
.maxattr = M,
+ .policy = POLICY,
...
};
This also gets rid of devlink_nl_cmd_region_read_dumpit() accessing
the cb->data as ops, which we want to change in a later genl patch.

Now genl_register_family() is the only thing (other than the
users themselves, perhaps, but I didn't find any doing that)
writing to the family struct.
In all families that I found, genl_register_family() is only
called from __init functions (some indirectly, in which case
I've add __init annotations to clarifly things), so all can
actually be marked __ro_after_init.
This protects the data structure from accidental corruption.

Static family IDs have never really been used, the only
use case was the workaround I introduced for those users
that assumed their family ID was also their multicast
group ID.
Additionally, because static family IDs would never be
reserved by the generic netlink code, using a relatively
low ID would only work for built-in families that can be
registered immediately after generic netlink is started,
which is basically only the control family (apart from
the workaround code, which I also had to add code for so
it would reserve those IDs)
Thus, anything other than GENL_ID_GENERATE is flawed and
luckily not used except in the cases I mentioned. Move
those workarounds into a few lines of code, and then get
rid of GENL_ID_GENERATE entirely, making it more robust.

This patch removes the separate paths for frames coming from the outside, and
frames sent from the HSR device, and instead makes all frames go through
hsr_forward_skb() in hsr_forward.c. This greatly improves code readability and
also opens up the possibility for future support of the HSR Interlink device
that is the basis for HSR RedBoxes and HSR QuadBoxes, as well as VLAN
compatibility.
Other improvements:
* A reduction in the number of times an skb is copied on machines without
HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, which improves throughput somewhat.
* Headers are now created using the standard eth_header(), and using the
standard hard_header_len.
* Each HSR slave now gets its own private skb, so slave-specific fields can be
correctly set.

Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with
the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead
of passing the global group ID to the various functions that
send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most
families that's just 0 because the only have one group.
This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new
field for the mcast group ID offset to the family.
At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups
again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now
check that a family only uses a group it owns.

within the family, rather than the global group ID.

There's no need to unregister the multicast group if the
generic netlink family is registered immediately after.

As suggested by David Miller, make genl_register_family_with_ops()
a macro and pass only the array, evaluating ARRAY_SIZE() in the
macro, this is a little safer.
The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in
that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the
family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and
code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

If 'hsr_get_node_data()' returns error, going directly to 'fail' label
doesn't free the memory pointed by 'skb_out'.

Now that genl_ops are no longer modified in place when
registering, they can be made const. This patch was done
mostly with spatch:
@@
identifier ops;
@@
+const
struct genl_ops ops[] = {
...
};
(except the struct thing in net/openvswitch/datapath.c)

This simplifies the code since there's no longer a
need to have error handling in the registration.

(HSRv0)
High-availability Seamless Redundancy ("HSR") provides instant failover
redundancy for Ethernet networks. It requires a special network topology where
all nodes are connected in a ring (each node having two physical network
interfaces). It is suited for applications that demand high availability and
very short reaction time.
HSR acts on the Ethernet layer, using a registered Ethernet protocol type to
send special HSR frames in both directions over the ring. The driver creates
virtual network interfaces that can be used just like any ordinary Linux
network interface, for IP/TCP/UDP traffic etc. All nodes in the network ring
must be HSR capable.
This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as described in
IEC 62439-3:2010 (HSRv0).
