commit d2237d35748e7f448a9c2d9dc6a85ef637466e24 upstream.

Renato Westphal noticed that since commit a2835763e130c343ace5320c20d33c281e7097b7
"rtnetlink: handle rtnl_link netlink notifications manually" was merged
we no longer send a netlink message when a networking device is moved
from one network namespace to another.

Fix this by adding the missing manual notification in dev_change_net_namespaces.

Since all network devices that are processed by dev_change_net_namspaces are
in the initialized state the complicated tests that guard the manual
rtmsg_ifinfo calls in rollback_registered and register_netdevice are
unnecessary and we can just perform a plain notification.

<title>net: copy userspace buffers on device forwarding</title>

dev_forward_skb loops an skb back into host networking
stack which might hang on the memory indefinitely.
In particular, this can happen in macvtap in bridged mode.
Copy the userspace fragments to avoid blocking the
sender in that case.

As this patch makes skb_copy_ubufs extern now,
I also added some documentation and made it clear
the SKBTX_DEV_ZEROCOPY flag automatically instead
of doing it in all callers. This can be made into a separate
patch if people feel it's worth it.

Just add GSO to vlan_features initialization, and update comments.

When we set offload features, vlan_dev_fix_features() will do more check.
In vlan_dev_fix_features(), final features is decided by
features of real device and vlan_features of real device.

<title>rtnl: provide link dump consistency info</title>

This patch adds a change sequence counter to each net namespace
which is bumped whenever a netdevice is added or removed from
the list. If such a change occurred while a link dump took place,
the dump will have the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set in the first
message which has been interrupted and in all subsequent messages
of the same dump.

Note that links may still be modified or renamed while a dump is
taking place but we can guarantee for userspace to receive a
complete list of links and not miss any.

Testing:
I have added 500 VLAN netdevices to make sure the dump is split
over multiple messages. Then while continuously dumping links in
one process I also continuously deleted and re-added a dummy
netdevice in another process. Multiple dumps per seconds have
had the NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag set.

I guess we can wait for Johannes patch to hit net-next via the
wireless tree.  I just wanted to give this some testing right away.

<title>vlan: Fix the ingress VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR check</title>

Testing of VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR does not belong in vlan_untag
but rather in vlan_do_receive.  Otherwise the vlan header
will not be properly put on the packet in the case of
vlan header accelleration.

As we remove the check from vlan_check_reorder_header
rename it vlan_reorder_header to keep the naming clean.

Fix up the skb-&gt;pkt_type early so we don't look at the packet
after adding the vlan tag, which guarantees we don't goof
and look at the wrong field.

Use a simple if statement instead of a complicated switch
statement to decided that we need to increment rx_stats
for a multicast packet.

Hopefully at somepoint we will just declare the case where
VLAN_FLAG_REORDER_HDR is cleared as unsupported and remove
the code.  Until then this keeps it working correctly.
