1e027960ed net/hsr: fix possible crash in add_timer()
syzbot found another add_timer() issue, this time in net/hsr [1]

Let's use mod_timer() which is safe.

cf124db566 net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.
Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops->ndo_init().  However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.

Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor().

The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.

netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.

netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.

Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().

This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.

If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit().  But
it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor().

This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.

However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev->destructor() will not be.

Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.

Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.

Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().

netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for
free_netdev().

netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().

Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit()
and netdev->priv_destructor().

And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().

batman-adv:

- streamline sl_change_mtu

um/net_kern:
- remove pointless ndo_change_mtu

hsi/clients/ssi_protocol:
- use core MTU range checking
- remove now redundant ssip_pn_set_mtu

ipoib:
- set a default max MTU value
- Note: ipoib's actual max MTU can vary, depending on if the device is in
  connected mode or not, so we'll just set the max_mtu value to the max
  possible, and let the ndo_change_mtu function continue to validate any new
  MTU change requests with checks for CM or not. Note that ipoib has no
  min_mtu set, and thus, the network core's mtu > 0 check is the only lower
  bounds here.

mptlan:
- use net core MTU range checking
- remove now redundant mpt_lan_change_mtu

fddi:
- min_mtu = 21, max_mtu = 4470
- remove now redundant fddi_change_mtu (including export)

fjes:
- min_mtu = 8192, max_mtu = 65536
- The max_mtu value is actually one over IP_MAX_MTU here, but the idea is to
  get past the core net MTU range checks so fjes_change_mtu can validate a
  new MTU against what it supports (see fjes_support_mtu in fjes_hw.c)

hsr:
- min_mtu = 0 (calls ether_setup, max_mtu is 1500)

f_phonet:
- min_mtu = 6, max_mtu = 65541

u_ether:
- min_mtu = 14, max_mtu = 15412

phonet/pep-gprs:
- min_mtu = 576, max_mtu = 65530
- remove redundant gprs_set_mtu

15db6e0dc7 net/hsr: Use setup_timer and mod_timer.
The function setup_timer combines the initialization of a timer with the
initialization of the timer's function and data fields. The mulitiline
code for timer initialization is now replaced with function setup_timer.

Also, quoting the mod_timer() function comment:
-> mod_timer() is a more efficient way to update the expire field of an
   active timer (if the timer is inactive it will be activated).

Use setup_timer() and mod_timer() to setup and arm a timer, making the
code compact and aid readablity.

56b08fdcf6 net/hsr: Fix NULL pointer dereference and refcnt bugs when deleting a HSR interface.
To repeat:

$ sudo ip link del hsr0
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018
IP: [<ffffffff8187f495>] hsr_del_port+0x15/0xa0
etc...

Bug description:

As part of the hsr master device destruction, hsr_del_port() is called for each of
the hsr ports. At each such call, the master device is updated regarding features
and mtu. When the master device is freed before the slave interfaces, master will
be NULL in hsr_del_port(), which led to a NULL pointer dereference.

Additionally, dev_put() was called on the master device itself in hsr_del_port(),
causing a refcnt error.

A third bug in the same code path was that the rtnl lock was not taken before
hsr_del_port() was called as part of hsr_dev_destroy().

The reporter (Nicolas Dichtel) also said: "hsr_netdev_notify() supposes that the
port will always be available when the notification is for an hsr interface. It's
wrong. For example, netdev_wait_allrefs() may resend NETDEV_UNREGISTER.". As a
precaution against this, a check for port == NULL was added in hsr_dev_notify().

f266a683a4 net/hsr: Better frame dispatch
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.

51f3c60531 net/hsr: Move slave init to hsr_slave.c.
Also try to prevent some possible slave dereference race conditions. This is
finalized in the next patch, which abandons the slave array in favour of
a list_head list and list RCU.

f421436a59 net/hsr: Add support for the High-availability Seamless Redundancy protocol (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).
