eb0b39efb7 net: CONFIG_DEBUG_NET depends on CONFIG_NET
It makes little sense to debug networking stacks
if networking is not compiled in.

d268c1f5cf 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.

9ba74e6c9e 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.

4d92b95ff2 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.
