After we change the ipvlan mode from l3 to l2, or vice versa, we only
reset IFF_NOARP flag, but don't flush the ARP table cache, which will
cause eth-&gt;h_dest to be equal to eth-&gt;h_source in ipvlan_xmit_mode_l2().
Then the message will not come out of host.

Here is the reproducer on local host:

ip link set eth1 up
ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev eth1
ip link add link eth1 ipvlan1 type ipvlan mode l3

ip netns add net1
ip link set ipvlan1 netns net1
ip netns exec net1 ip link set ipvlan1 up
ip netns exec net1 ip addr add 192.168.2.1/24 dev ipvlan1

ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 via 192.168.1.2
ping 192.168.2.2 -c 2

ip netns exec net1 ip link set ipvlan1 type ipvlan mode l2
ping 192.168.2.2 -c 2

Add the same configuration on remote host. After we set the mode to l2,
we could find that the src/dst MAC addresses are the same on eth1:

21:26:06.648565 00:b7:13:ad:d3:05 &gt; 00:b7:13:ad:d3:05, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 98: (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 58356, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1), length 84)
    192.168.2.1 &gt; 192.168.2.2: ICMP echo request, id 22686, seq 1, length 64

Fix this by calling dev_change_flags(), which will call netdevice notifier
with flag change info.

v2:
a) As pointed out by Wang Cong, check return value for dev_change_flags() when
change dev flags.
b) As suggested by Stefano and Sabrina, move flags setting before l3mdev_ops.
So we don't need to redo ipvlan_{, un}register_nf_hook() again in err path.

Commit 296d48568042 ("ipvlan: inherit MTU from master device") adjusted
the mtu from the master device when creating a ipvlan device, but it
would also override the mtu value set in rtnl_create_link. It causes
IFLA_MTU param not to take effect.

So this patch is to not adjust the mtu if IFLA_MTU param is set when
creating a ipvlan device.

Similar to the fixes on team and bonding, this restores the ability
to set an ipvlan device's mtu to anything higher than 1500.

Some network devices - notably ipvlan slave - are not compatible with
any kind of rx_handler. Currently the hook can be installed but any
configuration (bridge, bond, macsec, ...) is nonfunctional.

This change allocates a priv_flag bit to mark such devices and explicitly
forbid installing a rx_handler if such bit is set. The new bit is used
by ipvlan slave device.

the ipvlan device driver defines and uses 2 bits inside the priv_flags
net_device field. Such bits and the related helper are used only
inside the ipvlan device driver, and the core networking does not
need to be aware of them.

This change moves netif_is_ipvlan* helper in the ipvlan driver and
re-implement them looking for ipvlan specific symbols instead of
using priv_flags.

Overall this frees two bits inside priv_flags - and move the following
ones to avoid gaps - without any intended functional change.

This changeset moves ipvlan address under RCU protection, using
a per ipvlan device spinlock to protect list mutation and RCU
read access to protect list traversal.

Also explicitly use RCU read lock to traverse the per port
ipvlans list, so that we can now perform a full address lookup
without asserting the RTNL lock.

Overall this allows the ipvlan driver to check fully for duplicate
addresses - before this commit ipv6 addresses assigned by autoconf
via prefix delegation where accepted without any check - and avoid
the following rntl assertion failure still in the same code path:

These pernet_operations unregister ipvlan net hooks.
nf_unregister_net_hooks() removes hooks one-by-one,
and then frees the memory via rcu. This looks similar
to that happens, when a new hooks is added: allocation
of bigger memory region, copy of old content, and rcu
freeing the old memory. So, all of net code should be
well with this behavior. Also at the time of hook
unregistering, there are no packets, and foreign net
pernet_operations are not interested in others hooks.
So, we mark them as async.
