PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE defines the maximum size that can by used for the
per-CPU data size used by modules. This is 8KiB.

Commit 035fcdc4d240c ("openvswitch: Merge three per-CPU structures into
one") restructured the per-CPU memory allocation for the module and
moved the separate alloc_percpu() invocations at module init time to a
static per-CPU variable which is allocated by the module loader.

The size of the per-CPU data section for openvswitch is 6488 bytes which
is ~80% of the available per-CPU memory. Together with a few other
modules it is easy to exhaust the available 8KiB of memory.

Allocate ovs_pcpu_storage dynamically at module init time.

<title>openvswitch: Use nested-BH locking for ovs_pcpu_storage</title>

ovs_pcpu_storage is a per-CPU variable and relies on disabled BH for its
locking. Without per-CPU locking in local_bh_disable() on PREEMPT_RT
this data structure requires explicit locking.
The data structure can be referenced recursive and there is a recursion
counter to avoid too many recursions.

Add a local_lock_t to the data structure and use
local_lock_nested_bh() for locking. Add an owner of the struct which is
the current task and acquire the lock only if the structure is not owned
by the current task.

exec_actions_level is a per-CPU integer allocated at compile time.
action_fifos and flow_keys are per-CPU pointer and have their data

There is no gain in splitting it, once the module is allocated, the

Merge the three per-CPU variables into ovs_pcpu_storage, adapt callers.

There is something wrong with ovs_drop_reasons. ovs_drop_reasons[0] is
"OVS_DROP_LAST_ACTION", but OVS_DROP_LAST_ACTION == __OVS_DROP_REASON + 1,
which means that ovs_drop_reasons[1] should be "OVS_DROP_LAST_ACTION".

And as Adrian tested, without the patch, adding flow to drop packets
results in:

drop at: do_execute_actions+0x197/0xb20 [openvsw (0xffffffffc0db6f97)
origin: software
input port ifindex: 8
timestamp: Tue Aug 20 10:19:17 2024 859853461 nsec
protocol: 0x800
length: 98
original length: 98
drop reason: OVS_DROP_ACTION_ERROR

With the patch, the same results in:

drop at: do_execute_actions+0x197/0xb20 [openvsw (0xffffffffc0db6f97)
origin: software
input port ifindex: 8
timestamp: Tue Aug 20 10:16:13 2024 475856608 nsec
protocol: 0x800
length: 98
original length: 98
drop reason: OVS_DROP_LAST_ACTION

Fix this by initializing ovs_drop_reasons with index.

genetlink.h is a shell of what used to be a combined uAPI
and kernel header over a decade ago. It has fewer than
10 lines of code. Merge it into net/genetlink.h.
In some ways it'd be better to keep the combined header
under linux/ but it would make looking through git history
harder.

Recent changes in net-next (commit 759ab1edb56c ("net: store netdevs
in an xarray")) refactored the handling of pre-assigned ifindexes
and let syzbot surface a latent problem in ovs. ovs does not validate
ifindex, making it possible to create netdev ports with negative
ifindex values. It's easy to repro with YNL:

$ ./cli.py --spec netlink/specs/ovs_datapath.yaml \
         --do new \
	 --json '{"upcall-pid": 1, "name":"my-dp"}'
$ ./cli.py --spec netlink/specs/ovs_vport.yaml \
	 --do new \
	 --json '{"upcall-pid": "00000001", "name": "some-port0", "dp-ifindex":3,"ifindex":4294901760,"type":2}'

$ ip link show
-65536: some-port0: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST&gt; mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 7a:48:21:ad:0b:fb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
...

Validate the inputs. Now the second command correctly returns:

	 --json '{"upcall-pid": "00000001", "name": "some-port0", "dp-ifindex":3,"ifindex":4294901760,"type":2}'

Recent changes in net-next (commit 759ab1edb56c ("net: store netdevs
in an xarray")) refactored the handling of pre-assigned ifindexes
and let syzbot surface a latent problem in ovs. ovs does not validate
ifindex, making it possible to create netdev ports with negative
ifindex values. It's easy to repro with YNL:

$ ./cli.py --spec netlink/specs/ovs_datapath.yaml \

<title>genetlink: remove userhdr from struct genl_info</title>

Only three families use info-&gt;userhdr today and going forward
we discourage using fixed headers in new families.
So having the pointer to user header in struct genl_info
is an overkill. Compute the header pointer at runtime.
