Commit 96442e4242 (tuntap: choose the txq based on rxq)
added a per tun_struct kmem_cache.
As soon as several tun_struct are used, we get an error
because two caches cannot have same name.
Use the default kmalloc()/kfree_rcu(), as it reduce code
size and doesn't have performance impact here.

The current multiqueue API is ambigious which may confuse both user and LSM to
do things correctly:
- Both TUNSETIFF and TUNSETQUEUE could be used to create the queues of a tuntap
device.
- TUNSETQUEUE were used to disable and enable a specific queue of the
device. But since the state of tuntap were completely removed from the queue,
it could be used to attach to another device (there's no such kind of
requirement currently, and it needs new kind of LSM policy.
- TUNSETQUEUE could be used to attach to a persistent device without any
queues. This kind of attching bypass the necessary checking during TUNSETIFF
and may lead unexpected result.
So this patch tries to make a cleaner and simpler API by:
- Only allow TUNSETIFF to create queues.
- TUNSETQUEUE could be only used to disable and enabled the queues of a device,
and the state of the tuntap device were not detachd from the queues when it
was disabled, so TUNSETQUEUE could be only used after TUNSETIFF and with the
same device.
This is done by introducing a list which keeps track of all queues which were
disabled. The queue would be moved between this list and tfiles[] array when it
was enabled/disabled. A pointer of the tun_struct were also introdued to track
the device it belongs to when it was disabled.
After the change, the isolation between management and application could be done
through: TUNSETIFF were only called by management software and TUNSETQUEUE were
only called by application.For LSM/SELinux, the things left is to do proper
check during tun_set_queue() if needed.

Historically tun supported two modes of operation:
- in default mode, a small number of packets would get queued
at the device, the rest would be queued in qdisc
- in one queue mode, all packets would get queued at the device
This might have made sense up to a point where we made the
queue depth for both modes the same and set it to
a huge value (500) so unless the consumer
is stuck the chance of losing packets is small.
Thus in practice both modes behave the same, but the
default mode has some problems:
- if packets are never consumed, fragments are never orphaned
which cases a DOS for sender using zero copy transmit
- overrun errors are hard to diagnose: fifo error is incremented
only once so you can not distinguish between
userspace that is stuck and a transient failure,
tcpdump on the device does not show any traffic
Userspace solves this simply by enabling IFF_ONE_QUEUE
but there seems to be little point in not doing the
right thing for everyone, by default.

We attach queue 0 after registering netdevice currently. This leads to call

allow tun/tap has a maximum of 1024 queues, this may lead a huge number of
uevents to be injected to userspace since we create 2048 kobjects and then
remove 2046. Solve this problem by attaching queue 0 and set the real number of
queues before registering netdevice.

This patch implements a simple multiqueue flow steering policy - tx follows rx
for tun/tap. The idea is simple, it just choose the txq based on which rxq it
comes. The flow were identified through the rxhash of a skb, and the hash to
queue mapping were recorded in a hlist with an ageing timer to retire the
mapping. The mapping were created when tun receives packet from userspace, and
was quired in .ndo_select_queue().
I run co-current TCP_CRR test and didn't see any mapping manipulation helpers in
perf top, so the overhead could be negelected.

This patch converts tun/tap to a multiqueue devices and expose the multiqueue
queues as multiple file descriptors to userspace. Internally, each tun_file were
abstracted as a queue, and an array of pointers to tun_file structurs were
stored in tun_structure device, so multiple tun_files were allowed to be
attached to the device as multiple queues.
When choosing txq, we first try to identify a flow through its rxhash, if it
does not have such one, we could try recorded rxq and then use them to choose
the transmit queue. This policy may be changed in the future.

RCU were introduced in this patch to synchronize the dereferences between
tun_struct and tun_file. All tun_{get|put} were replaced with RCU, the
dereference from one to other must be done under rtnl lock or rcu read critical
region.
This is needed for the following patches since the one of the goal of multiqueue
tuntap is to allow adding or removing queues during workload. Without RCU,
control path would hold tx locks when adding or removing queues (which may cause
sme delay) and it's hard to change the number of queues without stopping the net
device. With the help of rcu, there's also no need for tun_file hold an refcnt
to tun_struct.

Current tuntap makes use of the socket receive queue as its tx queue. To
implement multiple tx queues for tuntap and enable the ability of adding and
removing queues during workload, the first step is to move the socket related
structures to tun_file. Then we could let multiple fds/sockets to be attached to
the tuntap.
This patch removes tun_sock and moves socket related structures from tun_sock or
tun_struct to tun_file. Two exceptions are tap_filter and sock_fprog, they are
still kept in tun_structure since they are used to filter packets for the net
device instead of per transmit queue (at least I see no requirements for
them). After those changes, socket were created and destroyed during file open
and close (instead of device creation and destroy), the socket structures could
be dereferenced from tun_file instead of the file of tun_struct structure
itself.
For persisent device, since we purge during datching and wouldn't queue any
packets when no interface were attached, there's no behaviod changes before and
after this patch, so the changes were transparent to the userspace. To keep the
attributes such as sndbuf, socket filter and vnet header, those would be
re-initialize after a new interface were attached to an persist device.

The cgroup logic part of net_cls is very similar as the one in
net_prio. Let's stream line the net_cls logic with the net_prio one.
The net_prio update logic was changed by following commit (note there
were some changes necessary later on)
commit 406a3c638c
Author: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com>
Date: Fri Jul 20 10:39:25 2012 +0000
net: netprio_cgroup: rework update socket logic
Instead of updating the sk_cgrp_prioidx struct field on every send
this only updates the field when a task is moved via cgroup
infrastructure.
This allows sockets that may be used by a kernel worker thread
to be managed. For example in the iscsi case today a user can
put iscsid in a netprio cgroup and control traffic will be sent
with the correct sk_cgrp_prioidx value set but as soon as data
is sent the kernel worker thread isssues a send and sk_cgrp_prioidx
is updated with the kernel worker threads value which is the
default case.
It seems more correct to only update the field when the user
explicitly sets it via control group infrastructure. This allows
the users to manage sockets that may be used with other threads.
Since classid is now updated when the task is moved between the
cgroups, we don't have to call sock_update_classid() from various
places to ensure we always using the latest classid value.

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
"This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.
The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and
from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.
The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to
handle those places with simple trivial patches.
Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
for most of the code size growth in my git tree.
Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
"capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.
While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process
netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed
usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.
Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
linux-next.
After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."

tun_detach() <== tun->socket.file = NULL
tun_free_netdev()
sk_release_sock()
sock_release(sock->file == NULL)
iput(SOCK_INODE(sock)) <== dereference on NULL pointer
This patch just removes zeroing of socket's file from __tun_detach().

This patch fixes a crash
tun_chr_close -> netdev_run_todo -> tun_free_netdev -> sk_release_kernel ->
sock_release -> iput(SOCK_INODE(sock))
introduced by commit 1ab5ecb90c
The problem is that this socket is embedded in struct tun_struct, it has
no inode, iput is called on invalid inode, which modifies invalid memory
and optionally causes a crash.
sock_release also decrements sockets_in_use, this causes a bug that
"sockets: used" field in /proc/*/net/sockstat keeps on decreasing when
creating and closing tun devices.
This patch introduces a flag SOCK_EXTERNALLY_ALLOCATED that instructs
sock_release to not free the inode and not decrement sockets_in_use,
fixing both memory corruption and sockets_in_use underflow.
It should be backported to 3.3 an 3.4 stabke.

Commit 8d8fc29d02 changed the behavior of slave
devices in regards to netpoll. Specifically it created a mutually exclusive
relationship between being a slave and a netpoll-capable device. This creates
problems for KVM because guests relied on needing netconsole active on a slave
device to a bridge. Ideally libvirtd could just attach netconsole to the bridge
device instead, but thats currently infeasible, because while the bridge device
supports netpoll, it requires that all slave interface also support it, but the
tun/tap driver currently does not. The most direct solution is to teach tun/tap
to support netpoll, which is implemented by the patch below.
I've not tested this yet, but its pretty straightforward.

VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID which is used to bypass the checksum
examing in guest. The backend (tap/macvtap) may set this flag when

No feature negotiation is needed as old driver just ignore this flag.

Perf shows a relatively high rate (about 8%) race in
spin_lock_irqsave() when doing netperf between external host and
guest. It's mainly becuase the lock contention between the
tun_do_read() and tun_xmit_skb(), so this patch do not put self into
waitqueue to reduce this kind of race. After this patch, it drops to
4%.

Current standard practice is to not mark most functions as inline
and let compiler decide instead.

The tun driver allocates skb's to hold data from user and then passes
the data into the network stack as received data. Most network devices
allocate the receive skb with routines like dev_alloc_skb() that reserves
additional space for use by network protocol stack but tun does not.
Because of the lack of padding, when the packet is passed through bridge
netfilter a new skb has to be allocated.

Force dev_alloc_name() to be called from register_netdevice() by
dev_get_valid_name(). That allows to remove multiple explicit
dev_alloc_name() calls.
The possibility to call dev_alloc_name in advance remains.
This also fixes veth creation regresion caused by
