This function calls call_netdevice_notifier(), which also
may take net_rwsem. So, we can't use net_rwsem here.
This patch makes callers of this functions take pernet_ops_rwsem,
like register_netdevice_notifier() does. This will protect
the modifications of net_namespace_list, and allows notifiers
to take it (they won't have to care about context).
Since __rtnl_link_unregister() is used on module load
and unload (which are not frequent operations), this looks
for me better, than make all call_netdevice_notifier()
always executing in "protected net_namespace_list" context.
Also, this fixes the problem we had a deal in 328fbe747ad4
"Close race between {un, }register_netdevice_notifier and ...",
and guarantees __rtnl_link_unregister() does not skip
exitting net.

These two drivers (dummy and ifb) call ether_setup(), after commit
61e84623ace3 ("net: centralize net_device min/max MTU checking"), the
range of mtu is [min_mtu, max_mtu], which is [68, 1500] by default.
These two devices should not have limits on MTU. This patch set their
min_mtu/max_mtu to 0. So that dev_set_mtu() will not check the mtu range,
and can be set with any value.

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().

This enables developing code that uses SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE
by using localhost addresses (without needing to send packets outside),
as well as enabling unit and functional testing of TX timestamping code
without needing hardware support or network access.
It also fulfills the expectation of software network devices supporting
software-based timestamping.
Tested on qemu using txtimestamping.c from the kernel selftests, and
ethtool -T.

The idea for this was born when testing VF support in iproute2 which was
impeded by hardware requirements. In fact, not every VF-capable hardware
driver implements all netdev ops, so testing the interface is still hard
to do even with a well-sorted hardware shelf.
To overcome this and allow for testing the user-kernel interface, this
patch allows to turn dummy into a PF with a configurable amount of VFs.
Since my patch series 'bus-agnostic-num-vf' has been accepted,
implementing the required interfaces is pretty straightforward: Iff
'num_vfs' module parameter was given a value >0, a dummy bus type is
being registered which implements the 'num_vf()' callback. Additionally,
a dummy parent device common to all dummy devices is registered which
sits on the above dummy bus.
Joint work with Sabrina Dubroca.

The network device operation for reading statistics is only called
in one place, and it ignores the return value. Having a structure
return value is potentially confusing because some future driver could

packets from hard irq context, and we need it in most if not all of
the places using the bh safe variant.
Except on 32bit uni-processor the code is exactly the same so don't
bother with a bh variant, just have a hard irq safe variant that
everyone can use.

In order to enable lockdep on seqcount/seqlock structures, we
must explicitly initialize any locks.
The u64_stats_sync structure, uses a seqcount, and thus we need
to introduce a u64_stats_init() function and use it to initialize
the structure.
This unfortunately adds a lot of fairly trivial initialization code
to a number of drivers. But the benefit of ensuring correctness makes
this worth while.
Because these changes are required for lockdep to be enabled, and the
changes are quite trivial, I've not yet split this patch out into 30-some
separate patches, as I figured it would be better to get the various
maintainers thoughts on how to best merge this change along with
the seqcount lockdep enablement.
Feedback would be appreciated!

In register_netdevice(), when ndo_init() is successful and later
some error occurred, ndo_uninit() will be called.
So dummy deivce is desirable to implement ndo_uninit() method
to free percpu stats for this case.
And, ndo_uninit() is also called along with dev->destructor() when
device is unregistered, so in order to prevent dev->dstats from
being freed twice, dev->destructor is modified to free_netdev().

All drivers need to unregister their devices in the module unload function.
While doing so they must hold the rtnl and atomically unregister the
rtnl_link ops as well. This makes the rtnl_link_unregister function that
takes the rtnl itself completely useless.
