It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
process identifier.  Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

Eric Biederman pointed out that not holding RTNL while calling
call_netdevice_notifiers() was racy.

This patch is a direct transcription his feedback
against commit 0115e8e30d6fc (net: remove delay at device dismantle)

Thanks Eric !

I noticed extra one second delay in device dismantle, tracked down to
a call to dst_dev_event() while some call_rcu() are still in RCU queues.

These call_rcu() were posted by rt_free(struct rtable *rt) calls.

We then wait a little (but one second) in netdev_wait_allrefs() before
kicking again NETDEV_UNREGISTER.

As the call_rcu() are now completed, dst_dev_event() can do the needed
device swap on busy dst.

To solve this problem, add a new NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL, called
after a rcu_barrier(), but outside of RTNL lock.

Use NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL with care !

Change dst_dev_event() handler to react to NETDEV_UNREGISTER_FINAL

Also remove NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH, as its not used anymore after
IP cache removal.

With help from Gao feng

<title>ipv4: Elide fib_validate_source() completely when possible.</title>

<content type='text'>
If rpfilter is off (or the SKB has an IPSEC path) and there are not
tclassid users, we don't have to do anything at all when
fib_validate_source() is invoked besides setting the itag to zero.

We monitor tclassid uses with a counter (modified only under RTNL and
marked __read_mostly) and we protect the fib_validate_source() real
work with a test against this counter and whether rpfilter is to be
done.

Having a way to know whether we need no tclassid processing or not
also opens the door for future optimized rpfilter algorithms that do
not perform full FIB lookups.

These macros contain a hidden goto, and are thus extremely error
prone and make code hard to audit.

With calls to modular infrastructure, these files really
needs the full module.h header.  Call it out so some of the
cleanups of implicit and unrequired includes elsewhere can be
cleaned up.

add new fib rule can cause BUG_ON happen
the reproduce shell is
ip rule add pref 38
ip rule add pref 38
ip rule add to 192.168.3.0/24 goto 38
ip rule del pref 38
ip rule add to 192.168.3.0/24 goto 38
ip rule add pref 38

then the BUG_ON will happen
del BUG_ON and use (ctarget == NULL) identify whether this rule is unresolved
