====================
Introduce possible_net_t
The current usage of write_pnet and read_pnet is a little laborious and
error prone as you only notice if you failed to include them if are
compiling with network namespaces enabled.
possible_net_t remedies that by using a type that is 0 bytes when
network namespaces are disabled and can only be read and written to with
read_pnet and write_pnet.
Aka less work and safer for the same effect.
I kill hold_net and release_net first as are they are haven't been used
since 2008 and are noise at the points where write_pnet and read_pnet
are used.
I have folded in Eric Dumazets suggestions to improve the killing of
hold_net and release net. And respon. I had to respin anyway as
there was enough changes elsewhere in the tree the previous version
of these patches did not quite apply cleanly.

Having to say
> #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
> struct net *net;
> #endif
in structures is a little bit wordy and a little bit error prone.
Instead it is possible to say:
> typedef struct {
> #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
> struct net *net;
> #endif
> } possible_net_t;
And then in a header say:
> possible_net_t net;
Which is cleaner and easier to use and easier to test, as the
possible_net_t is always there no matter what the compile options.
Further this allows read_pnet and write_pnet to be functions in all
cases which is better at catching typos.
This change adds possible_net_t, updates the definitions of read_pnet
and write_pnet, updates optional struct net * variables that
write_pnet uses on to have the type possible_net_t, and finally fixes
up the b0rked users of read_pnet and write_pnet.

A long standing problem in netlink socket dumps is the use
of kernel socket addresses as cookies.
1) It is a security concern.
2) Sockets can be reused quite quickly, so there is
no guarantee a cookie is used once and identify
a flow.
3) request sock, establish sock, and timewait socks
for a given flow have different cookies.
Part of our effort to bring better TCP statistics requires
to switch to a different allocator.
In this patch, I chose to use a per network namespace 64bit generator,
and to use it only in the case a socket needs to be dumped to netlink.
(This might be refined later if needed)
Note that I tried to carry cookies from request sock, to establish sock,
then timewait sockets.

This patch series completes the PHY reads/writes diversion when we need to use

In case a PHY is found via Device Tree, and is also flagged by the
switch driver as needing indirect reads/writes using the switch driver
implemented MDIO bus, make sure that we bind this PHY to the slave MII
bus in order for this to happen.
Without this, we would succeed in having the PHY driver probe()'s
function to use slave MII bus read/write functions, because this is done
during dsa_slave_mii_init(), but past that point, the PHY driver would
not go through these diverted reads and writes.

This patch is meant to collapse local and main into one by converting
tb_data from an array to a pointer. Doing this allows us to point the
local table into the main while maintaining the same variables in the
table.
As such the tb_data was converted from an array to a pointer, and a new
array called data is added in order to still provide an object for tb_data
to point to.
In order to track the origin of the fib aliases a tb_id value was added in
a hole that existed on 64b systems. Using this we can also reverse the
merge in the event that custom FIB rules are enabled.
With this patch I am seeing an improvement of 20ns to 30ns for routing
lookups as long as custom rules are not enabled, with custom rules enabled

commit afaa3f65f6
(tipc: purge links when bearer is disabled) was an attempt to resolve
a problem that turned out to have a more profound reason.
When we disable a bearer, we delete all its pertaining links if
there is no other bearer to perform failover to, or if the module
is shutting down. In case there are dual bearers, we wait with
deleting links until the failover procedure is finished.
However, this misses the case when a link on the removed bearer
was already down, so that there will be no failover procedure to
finish the link delete. This causes confusion if a new bearer is
added to replace the removed one, and also entails a small memory
leak.
This commit takes the current state of the link into account when
deciding when to delete it, and also reverses the above-mentioned
commit.

In order to prevent this we should decrement max_work before we actually

net: dsa: remove restriction on platform_device
This patch series removes the restriction in DSA to operate exclusively with
platform_device Ethernet MAC drivers when using Device Tree. This basically
allows arbitrary Ethernet MAC drivers to be used now in conjunction with
Device Tree.
The reason was that DSA was using a of_find_device_by_node() which limits

Using of_find_device_by_node() restricts the search to platform_device that
match the specified device_node pointer. This is not even remotely true for
network devices backed by a pci_device for instance.
of_find_net_device_by_node() allows us to do a more thorough lookup to find the
struct net_device corresponding to a particular device_node pointer.
For symetry with the non-OF code path, we hold the net_device pointer in
dsa_probe() just like what dev_to_net_dev() does when we call this
function.

device.
Since we need to access net_class which is not accessible outside of
net/core/net-sysfs.c, this helper function is also added here and gated
with CONFIG_OF_NET.
Network devices initialized with SET_NETDEV_DEV() are also taken into
account by checking for dev->parent first and then falling back to

on my ARM board, I was able to reproduce the same issue as Pratyush.
After applying his patch, it fixed the problem. The above test uncovered
two different bugs, one in x86 and one in ARM and ARM64. As this looked
like it would affect PowerPC, I tested it on my PPC64 box. It too broke,
but neither the patch that fixed ARM or x86 fixed this box (the changes
were all in generic code!). The above test, uncovered two more bugs that
affected PowerPC. Again, the changes were only done to generic code.
It's the way the arch code expected things to be done that was different

with trampoline accounting. I fixed it and sent Pratyush a patch, but
he said that it did not fix the issue for him.
I later learned tha Pratyush was using an ARM64 server, and when I
tested on my ARM board, I was able to reproduce the same issue as
Pratyush. After applying his patch, it fixed the problem. The above
test uncovered two different bugs, one in x86 and one in ARM and
ARM64. As this looked like it would affect PowerPC, I tested it on my
PPC64 box. It too broke, but neither the patch that fixed ARM or x86
fixed this box (the changes were all in generic code!). The above
test, uncovered two more bugs that affected PowerPC. Again, the
changes were only done to generic code. It's the way the arch code
expected things to be done that was different between the archs. Some
where more sensitive than others.
The rest of this series fixes the PPC bugs as well"
