totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.
Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating

https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing

In order to not dirty the cacheline too often, we try to only update
dst->__use and dst->lastusetime at most once per jiffy.
As dst->lastusetime is only used by ipv6 garbage collector, it should
be good enough time resolution.
And __use is only used in ipv6_route_seq_show() to show how many times a
dst has been used. And as __use is not atomic_t right now, it does not
show the precise number of usage times anyway. So we think it should be
OK to only update it at most once per jiffy.

struct dn_route is inserted into dn_rt_hash_table but no dst->__refcnt

This patch makes sure the dn_rt_hash_table's reference to the dst is ref
counted.
As the dst is always ref counted properly, we can safely mark
DST_NOGC flag so dst_release() will release dst based on refcnt only.
And dst gc is no longer needed and all dst_free() or its related
function calls should be replaced with dst_release() or
dst_release_immediate(). And dst_dev_put() is called when removing dst
from the hash table to release the reference on dst->dev before we lose
pointer to it.

In the existing dn_route.c code, dn_route_output_slow() takes
dst->__refcnt before calling dn_insert_route() while dn_route_input_slow()
does not take dst->__refcnt before calling dn_insert_route().
This makes the whole routing code very buggy.
In dn_dst_check_expire(), dnrt_free() is called when rt expires. This
makes the routes inserted by dn_route_output_slow() not able to be
freed as the refcnt is not released.
In dn_dst_gc(), dnrt_drop() is called to release rt which could
potentially cause the dst->__refcnt to be dropped to -1.
In dn_run_flush(), dst_free() is called to release all the dst. Again,
it makes the dst inserted by dn_route_output_slow() not able to be
released and also, it does not wait on the rcu and could potentially
cause crash in the path where other users still refer to this dst.
This patch makes sure both input and output path do not take
dst->__refcnt before calling dn_insert_route() and also makes sure
dnrt_free()/dst_free() is called when removing dst from the hash table.
The only difference between those 2 calls is that dnrt_free() waits on
the rcu while dst_free() does not.

Conflicts:
net/bridge/br_netfilter_hooks.c
A recent change to the dst_output handling caused a new warning
when the call to NF_HOOK() is the only used of a local variable
passed as 'dev', and CONFIG_NETFILTER is disabled:
net/ipv6/ip6_output.c: In function 'ip6_output':
net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:135:21: warning: unused variable 'dev' [-Wunused-variable]
The reason for this is that the NF_HOOK macro in this case does
not reference the variable at all, and the call to dev_net(dev)
got removed from the ip6_output function. To avoid that warning now
and in the future, this changes the macro into an equivalent
inline function, which tells the compiler that the variable is
passed correctly but still unused.
The dn_forward function apparently had the same problem in
the past and added a local workaround that no longer works
with the inline function. In order to avoid a regression, we
have to also remove the #ifdef from decnet in the same patch.

This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that
call into netfilter. Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would
need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process
packets in.
As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions
after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in
many cases a code simplification.
To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to
simplify passing dst_output as an okfn. For the moment dst_output_okfn
just silently drops the struct net.

Pass a network namespace parameter into the netfilter hooks. At the
call site of the netfilter hooks the path a packet is taking through
the network stack is well known which allows the network namespace to
be easily and reliabily.
This allows the replacement of magic code like
"dev_net(state->in?:state->out)" that appears at the start of most
netfilter hooks with "state->net".
In almost all cases the network namespace passed in is derived
from the first network device passed in, guaranteeing those
paths will not see any changes in practice.
The exceptions are:
xfrm/xfrm_output.c:xfrm_output_resume() xs_net(skb_dst(skb)->xfrm)
ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_nat_send_or_cont() ip_vs_conn_net(cp)

br_netfilter_hooks.c:br_nf_pre_routing_finish() dev_net(skb->dev) before skb->dev is set to nf_bridge->physindev
In all cases these exceptions seem to be a better expression for the
network namespace the packet is being processed in then the historic
"dev_net(in?in:out)". I am documenting them in case something odd
pops up and someone starts trying to track down what happened.

On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two
socket contexts. First, and usually skb->sk, is the local socket that
generated the frame.
And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling
socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP.
We do not want to disassociate skb->sk when encapsulating in order
to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting.
The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an
AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device. We hit code
paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4
socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one.

Other users users of the neighbour table use neigh->output as the method
to decided when and which link-layer header to place on a packet.
DECnet has been using neigh->output to decide which DECnet headers to
place on a packet depending which neighbour the packet is destined for.
The DECnet usage isn't totally wrong but it can run into problems if the
neighbour output function is run for a second time as the teql driver
and the bridge netfilter code can do.
Therefore to avoid pathologic problems later down the line and make the
neighbour code easier to understand by refactoring the decnet output
code to only use a neighbour method to add a link layer header to a
packet.
This is done by moving the neigbhour operations lookup from
dn_to_neigh_output to dn_neigh_output_packet.

Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions
return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even
return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb.
This makes the very common pattern of
if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... }
be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do
return nlmsg_end(...);
and the caller is expected to deal with it.
This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very
common to write
if (my_function(...))
/* error condition */
and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong.
Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually
needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then
it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there.
Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead
code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did
- return nlmsg_end(...);
+ nlmsg_end(...);
+ return 0;
I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning
skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected
functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared
the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just
be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more
efficient version.
One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present
in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't
check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time.
I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to
userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for
every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed
for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they
are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.

In the dst->output() path for ipv4, the code assumes the skb it has to
transmit is attached to an inet socket, specifically via
ip_mc_output() : The sk_mc_loop() test triggers a WARN_ON() when the
provider of the packet is an AF_PACKET socket.
The dst->output() method gets an additional 'struct sock *sk'
parameter. This needs a cascade of changes so that this parameter can
be propagated from vxlan to final consumer.
