net: add net device refcount tracker infrastructure net device are refcounted. Over the years we had numerous bugs caused by imbalanced dev_hold() and dev_put() calls. The general idea is to be able to precisely pair each decrement with a corresponding prior increment. Both share a cookie, basically a pointer to private data storing stack traces. This patch adds dev_hold_track() and dev_put_track(). To use these helpers, each data structure owning a refcount should also use a "netdevice_tracker" to pair the hold and put. netdevice_tracker dev_tracker; ... dev_hold_track(dev, &dev_tracker, GFP_ATOMIC); ... dev_put_track(dev, &dev_tracker); Whenever a leak happens, we will get precise stack traces of the point dev_hold_track() happened, at device dismantle phase. We will also get a stack trace if too many dev_put_track() for the same netdevice_tracker are attempted. This is guarded by CONFIG_NET_DEV_REFCNT_TRACKER option.

Enable debugging feature to track device references.
This adds memory and cpu costs.
net: add networking namespace refcount tracker We have 100+ syzbot reports about netns being dismantled too soon, still unresolved as of today. We think a missing get_net() or an extra put_net() is the root cause. In order to find the bug(s), and be able to spot future ones, this patch adds CONFIG_NET_NS_REFCNT_TRACKER and new helpers to precisely pair all put_net() with corresponding get_net(). To use these helpers, each data structure owning a refcount should also use a "netns_tracker" to pair the get and put.

net: add CONFIG_DEBUG_NET This config option enables network debugging checks. This patch adds DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE(cond) Note that this is not a replacement for WARN_ON_ONCE(cond) as (cond) is not evaluated if CONFIG_DEBUG_NET is not set.

help
Enable extra sanity checks in networking.
This is mostly used by fuzzers, but is safe to select.
