This reverts commit 504fc6f4f7f681d2a03aa5f68aad549d90eab853.

dev_queue_xmit_nit is expected to be called with BH disabled.
__dev_queue_xmit has the following:

        /* Disable soft irqs for various locks below. Also
         * stops preemption for RCU.
         */
        rcu_read_lock_bh();

VRF must follow this invariant. The referenced commit removed this
protection. Which triggered a lockdep warning:

"Interface can't change network namespaces" is rather an attribute,

<title>sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers</title>

const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function
signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table
structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function
pointers cannot be modified.

The vrf driver has its own dstats-to-rtnl_link_stats64 collection, but
we now have a generic implementation for dstats collection, so switch to
this.

In doing so, we fix a minor issue where the (non-percpu)
dev-&gt;stats-&gt;tx_errors value was never collected into rtnl_link_stats64,
as the generic dev_get_dstats64() consumes the starting values from
dev-&gt;stats.

<title>net: core,vrf: Change pcpu_dstat fields to u64_stats_t</title>

<id>fa59dc2f6fc616fde3941f62ccd4adcaa21ccd47</id>
<content type='text'>
The pcpu_sw_netstats and pcpu_lstats structs both contain a set of
u64_stats_t fields for individual stats, but pcpu_dstats uses u64s
instead.

Make this consistent by using u64_stats_t across all stats types.

The per-cpu dstats are only used by the vrf driver at present, so update
that driver as part of this change.

<title>inet: introduce dst_rtable() helper</title>

<content type='text'>
I added dst_rt6_info() in commit
e8dfd42c17fa ("ipv6: introduce dst_rt6_info() helper")

This patch does a similar change for IPv4.

Instead of (struct rtable *)dst casts, we can use :

 #define dst_rtable(_ptr) \
             container_of_const(_ptr, struct rtable, dst)

Patch is smaller than IPv6 one, because IPv4 has skb_rtable() helper.

I added dst_rt6_info() in commit
e8dfd42c17fa ("ipv6: introduce dst_rt6_info() helper")

This patch does a similar change for IPv4.

Instead of (struct rtable *)dst casts, we can use :

 #define dst_rtable(_ptr) \
             container_of_const(_ptr, struct rtable, dst)

Patch is smaller than IPv6 one, because IPv4 has skb_rtable() helper.

Instead of (struct rt6_info *)dst casts, we can use :

 #define dst_rt6_info(_ptr) \
         container_of_const(_ptr, struct rt6_info, dst)

Some places needed missing const qualifiers :

ip6_confirm_neigh(), ipv6_anycast_destination(),
ipv6_unicast_destination(), has_gateway()

v2: added missing parts (David Ahern)

To be able to constify instances of struct ctl_tables it is necessary to
remove ways through which non-const versions are exposed from the
sysctl core.
One of these is the ctl_table_arg member of struct ctl_table_header.

Constify this reference as a prerequisite for the full constification of
struct ctl_table instances.
No functional change.
