mainlining shenanigans
e83d565378
In order for switch driver to be able to make simple and reliable use of the master tracking operations, they must also be notified of the initial state of the DSA master, not just of the changes. This is because they might enable certain features only during the time when they know that the DSA master is up and running. Therefore, this change explicitly checks the state of the DSA master under the same rtnl_mutex as we were holding during the dsa_master_setup() and dsa_master_teardown() call. The idea being that if the DSA master became operational in between the moment in which it became a DSA master (dsa_master_setup set dev->dsa_ptr) and the moment when we checked for the master being up, there is a chance that we would emit a ->master_state_change() call with no actual state change. We need to avoid that by serializing the concurrent netdevice event with us. If the netdevice event started before, we force it to finish before we begin, because we take rtnl_lock before making netdev_uses_dsa() return true. So we also handle that early event and do nothing on it. Similarly, if the dev_open() attempt is concurrent with us, it will attempt to take the rtnl_mutex, but we're holding it. We'll see that the master flag IFF_UP isn't set, then when we release the rtnl_mutex we'll process the NETDEV_UP notifier.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
