<id>845e0ebb4408d4473cf60d21224a897037e9a77a</id>
<content type='text'>
The dynamic key update for addr_list_lock still causes troubles,
for example the following race condition still exists:

CPU 0:				CPU 1:
(RCU read lock)			(RTNL lock)
dev_mc_seq_show()		netdev_update_lockdep_key()
				  -&gt; lockdep_unregister_key()
 -&gt; netif_addr_lock_bh()

because lockdep doesn't provide an API to update it atomically.
Therefore, we have to move it back to static keys and use subclass
for nest locking like before.

In commit 1a33e10e4a95 ("net: partially revert dynamic lockdep key
changes"), I already reverted most parts of commit ab92d68fc22f
("net: core: add generic lockdep keys").

This patch reverts the rest and also part of commit f3b0a18bb6cb
("net: remove unnecessary variables and callback"). After this
patch, addr_list_lock changes back to using static keys and
subclasses to satisfy lockdep. Thanks to dev-&gt;lower_level, we do
not have to change back to -&gt;ndo_get_lock_subclass().

And hopefully this reduces some syzbot lockdep noises too.

<content type='text'>
The commit 8c46fcd78308 ("batman-adv: disable ethtool link speed detection
when auto negotiation off") disabled the usage of ethtool's link_ksetting
when auto negotation was enabled due to invalid values when used with
tun/tap virtual net_devices. According to the patch, automatic measurements
should be used for these kind of interfaces.

But there are major flaws with this argumentation:

* automatic measurements are not implemented
* auto negotiation has nothing to do with the validity of the retrieved
  values

The first point has to be fixed by a longer patch series. The "validity"
part of the second point must be addressed in the same patch series by
dropping the usage of ethtool's link_ksetting (thus always doing automatic
measurements over ethernet).

Drop the patch again to have more default values for various net_device
types/configurations. The user can still overwrite them using the
batadv_hardif's BATADV_ATTR_THROUGHPUT_OVERRIDE.

In commit a63fc6b75cca ("rcu: Upgrade rcu_swap_protected() to
rcu_replace_pointer()") a new helper macro named rcu_replace_pointer() was
introduced to simplify code requiring to switch an rcu pointer to a new
value while extracting the old one.

Use rcu_replace_pointer() where appropriate to make code slimer.

This patch reverts the folowing commits:

commit 064ff66e2bef84f1153087612032b5b9eab005bd
"bonding: add missing netdev_update_lockdep_key()"

commit 53d374979ef147ab51f5d632dfe20b14aebeccd0
"net: avoid updating qdisc_xmit_lock_key in netdev_update_lockdep_key()"

commit 1f26c0d3d24125992ab0026b0dab16c08df947c7
"net: fix kernel-doc warning in &lt;linux/netdevice.h&gt;"

commit ab92d68fc22f9afab480153bd82a20f6e2533769
"net: core: add generic lockdep keys"

but keeps the addr_list_lock_key because we still lock
addr_list_lock nestedly on stack devices, unlikely xmit_lock
this is safe because we don't take addr_list_lock on any fast
path.

<title>batman-adv: Fix refcnt leak in batadv_v_ogm_process</title>

batadv_v_ogm_process() invokes batadv_hardif_neigh_get(), which returns
a reference of the neighbor object to "hardif_neigh" with increased
refcount.

When batadv_v_ogm_process() returns, "hardif_neigh" becomes invalid, so
the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.

The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling paths of
batadv_v_ogm_process(). When batadv_v_ogm_orig_get() fails to get the
orig node and returns NULL, the refcnt increased by
batadv_hardif_neigh_get() is not decreased, causing a refcnt leak.

Fix this issue by jumping to "out" label when batadv_v_ogm_orig_get()
fails to get the orig node.
