Fun set of conflict resolutions here...
For the mac80211 stuff, these were fortunately just parallel
adds. Trivially resolved.
In drivers/net/phy/phy.c we had a bug fix in 'net' that moved the
function phy_disable_interrupts() earlier in the file, whilst in
'net-next' the phy_error() call from this function was removed.
In net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c, David Ahern's changes to remove the
'rt_table_id' member of rtable collided with a bug fix in 'net' that
added a new struct member "rt_mtu_locked" which needs to be copied
over here.
The mlxsw driver conflict consisted of net-next separating
the span code and definitions into separate files, whilst
a 'net' bug fix made some changes to that moved code.
The mlx5 infiniband conflict resolution was quite non-trivial,
the RDMA tree's merge commit was used as a guide here, and
here are their notes:
====================
Due to bug fixes found by the syzkaller bot and taken into the for-rc
branch after development for the 4.17 merge window had already started
being taken into the for-next branch, there were fairly non-trivial
merge issues that would need to be resolved between the for-rc branch
and the for-next branch. This merge resolves those conflicts and
provides a unified base upon which ongoing development for 4.17 can
be based.
Conflicts:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c - Commit 42cea83f95
(IB/mlx5: Fix cleanup order on unload) added to for-rc and
commit b5ca15ad7e (IB/mlx5: Add proper representors support)
add as part of the devel cycle both needed to modify the
init/de-init functions used by mlx5. To support the new
representors, the new functions added by the cleanup patch
needed to be made non-static, and the init/de-init list
added by the representors patch needed to be modified to
match the init/de-init list changes made by the cleanup
patch.
Updates:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mlx5_ib.h - Update function
prototypes added by representors patch to reflect new function
names as changed by cleanup patch
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/ib_rep.c - Update init/de-init
stage list to match new order from cleanup patch

fallback tunnels (like tunl0, gre0, gretap0, erspan0, sit0,
ip6tnl0, ip6gre0) are automatically created when the corresponding
module is loaded.
These tunnels are also automatically created when a new network
namespace is created, at a great cost.
In many cases, netns are used for isolation purposes, and these
extra network devices are a waste of resources. We are using
thousands of netns per host, and hit the netns creation/delete
bottleneck a lot. (Many thanks to Kirill for recent work on this)
Add a new sysctl so that we can opt-out from this automatic creation.
Note that these tunnels are still created for the initial namespace,
to be the least intrusive for typical setups.

Commit b05229f442 ("gre6: Cleanup GREv6 transmit path,

from ip6gre_tunnel_setup() to ip6gre_tunnel_init(), as a
result, the previously set values, before ndo_init(), are
reset in the following cases:
* rtnl_create_link() can update dev->mtu from IFLA_MTU
parameter.
* ip6gre_tnl_link_config() is invoked before ndo_init() in
netlink and ioctl setup, so ndo_init() can reset MTU
adjustments with the lower device MTU as well, dev->mtu
and dev->hard_header_len.
Not applicable for ip6gretap because it has one more call
to ip6gre_tnl_link_config(tunnel, 1) in ip6gre_tap_init().
Fix the first case by updating dev->mtu with 'tb[IFLA_MTU]'
parameter if a user sets it manually on a device creation,
and fix the second one by moving ip6gre_tnl_link_config()
call after register_netdevice().

When ip6gre is created using ioctl, its features, such as
scatter-gather, GSO and tx-checksumming will be turned off:
# ip -f inet6 tunnel add gre6 mode ip6gre remote fd00::1
# ethtool -k gre6 (truncated output)
tx-checksumming: off
scatter-gather: off
tcp-segmentation-offload: off
generic-segmentation-offload: off [requested on]
But when netlink is used, they will be enabled:
# ip link add gre6 type ip6gre remote fd00::1
# ethtool -k gre6 (truncated output)
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: on
tcp-segmentation-offload: on
generic-segmentation-offload: on
This results in a loss of performance when gre6 is created via ioctl.
The issue was found with LTP/gre tests.
Fix it by moving the setup of device features to a separate function
and invoke it with ndo_init callback because both netlink and ioctl
will eventually call it via register_netdevice():
register_netdevice()
- ndo_init() callback -> ip6gre_tunnel_init() or ip6gre_tap_init()
- ip6gre_tunnel_init_common()
- ip6gre_tnl_init_features()
The moved code also contains two minor style fixes:
* removed needless tab from GRE6_FEATURES on NETIF_F_HIGHDMA line.
* fixed the issue reported by checkpatch: "Unnecessary parentheses around

Now ip6gre processes toobig icmp packet by setting gre dev's mtu in
ip6gre_err, which would cause few things not good:
- It couldn't set mtu with dev_set_mtu due to it's not in user context,
which causes route cache and idev->cnf.mtu6 not to be updated.
- It has to update sk dst pmtu in tx path according to gredev->mtu for

- To change dev->mtu by toobig icmp packet is not a good idea, it should

When receiving a Toobig icmpv6 packet, ip6gre_err would just set
tunnel dev's mtu, that's not enough. For skb_dst(skb)'s pmtu may
still be using the old value, it has no chance to be updated with
tunnel dev's mtu.
Jianlin found this issue by reducing route's mtu while running
netperf, the performance went to 0.
ip6ip6 and ip4ip6 tunnel can work well with this, as they lookup
the upper dst and update_pmtu it's pmtu or icmpv6_send a Toobig
to upper socket after setting tunnel dev's mtu.
We couldn't do that for ip6_gre, as gre's inner packet could be
any protocol, it's difficult to handle them (like lookup upper
dst) in a good way.
So this patch is to fix it by updating skb_dst(skb)'s pmtu when
dev->mtu < skb_dst(skb)'s pmtu in tx path. It's safe to do this
update there, as usually dev->mtu <= skb_dst(skb)'s pmtu and no
performance regression can be caused by this.

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().
