Taehee Yoo 173756b868 hsr: use rcu_read_lock() in hsr_get_node_{list/status}()
hsr_get_node_{list/status}() are not under rtnl_lock() because
they are callback functions of generic netlink.
But they use __dev_get_by_index() without rtnl_lock().
So, it would use unsafe data.
In order to fix it, rcu_read_lock() and dev_get_by_index_rcu()
are used instead of __dev_get_by_index().

Taehee Yoo 4b793acdca hsr: use netdev_err() instead of WARN_ONCE()
When HSR interface is sending a frame, it finds a node with
the destination ethernet address from the list.
If there is no node, it calls WARN_ONCE().
But, using WARN_ONCE() for this situation is a little bit overdoing.
So, in this patch, the netdev_err() is used instead.

Amol Grover a7a9456e8d net: hsr: Pass lockdep expression to RCU lists
node_db is traversed using list_for_each_entry_rcu
outside an RCU read-side critical section but under the protection
of hsr->list_lock.

Hence, add corresponding lockdep expression to silence false-positive
warnings, and harden RCU lists.

Taehee Yoo 92a35678ec hsr: fix a race condition in node list insertion and deletion
hsr nodes are protected by RCU and there is no write side lock.
But node insertions and deletions could be being operated concurrently.
So write side locking is needed.

Test commands:
    ip netns add nst
    ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1
    ip link add veth2 type veth peer name veth3
    ip link set veth1 netns nst
    ip link set veth3 netns nst
    ip link set veth0 up
    ip link set veth2 up
    ip link add hsr0 type hsr slave1 veth0 slave2 veth2
    ip a a 192.168.100.1/24 dev hsr0
    ip link set hsr0 up
    ip netns exec nst ip link set veth1 up
    ip netns exec nst ip link set veth3 up
    ip netns exec nst ip link add hsr1 type hsr slave1 veth1 slave2 veth3
    ip netns exec nst ip a a 192.168.100.2/24 dev hsr1

Cong Wang b9a1e62740 hsr: implement dellink to clean up resources
hsr_link_ops implements ->newlink() but not ->dellink(),
which leads that resources not released after removing the device,
particularly the entries in self_node_db and node_db.

So add ->dellink() implementation to replace the priv_destructor.
This also makes the code slightly easier to understand.

Andreas Oetken d2daa127ed hsr: fix don't prune the master node from the node_db
Don't prune the master node in the hsr_prune_nodes function.
Neither time_in[HSR_PT_SLAVE_A] nor time_in[HSR_PT_SLAVE_B]
will ever be updated by hsr_register_frame_in for the master port.
Thus, the master node will be repeatedly pruned leading to
repeated packet loss.
This bug never appeared because the hsr_prune_nodes function
was only called once. Since commit 5150b45fd3
("net: hsr: Fix node prune function for forget time expiry") this issue
is fixed unveiling the issue described above.

Aaron Kramer 5150b45fd3 net: hsr: Fix node prune function for forget time expiry
HSR should forget nodes after configured node forget time expiry based
on HSR_NODE_FORGET_TIME. As part of hsr_prune_nodes(), code checks to
see if entries are to be flushed out if not heard for longer than forget
time. But currently hsr_prune_nodes() is called only once during device
creation. Restart the timer at the end of hsr_prune_nodes() so that
hsr_prune_nodes() gets called periodically and forgotten entries are
removed from node table.

Arvid Brodin 279f64b7a7 net/hsr: Remove left-over never-true conditional code.
MacAddressB is an array (unsigned char MacAddressB[ETH_ALEN]) and is allocated
as a part of *node_dst (which is a struct hsr_node). So the condition is always
false.

Detected by Dan Carpenter.

Arvid Brodin f266a683a4 net/hsr: Better frame dispatch
This patch removes the separate paths for frames coming from the outside, and
frames sent from the HSR device, and instead makes all frames go through
hsr_forward_skb() in hsr_forward.c. This greatly improves code readability and
also opens up the possibility for future support of the HSR Interlink device
that is the basis for HSR RedBoxes and HSR QuadBoxes, as well as VLAN
compatibility.

Other improvements:
* A reduction in the number of times an skb is copied on machines without
  HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, which improves throughput somewhat.
* Headers are now created using the standard eth_header(), and using the
  standard hard_header_len.
* Each HSR slave now gets its own private skb, so slave-specific fields can be
  correctly set.

Arvid Brodin 51f3c60531 net/hsr: Move slave init to hsr_slave.c.
Also try to prevent some possible slave dereference race conditions. This is
finalized in the next patch, which abandons the slave array in favour of
a list_head list and list RCU.

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/recv.c
	drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/pcie.c
	net/ipv6/sit.c

The SIT driver conflict consists of a bug fix being done by hand
in 'net' (missing u64_stats_init()) whilst in 'net-next' a helper
was created (netdev_alloc_pcpu_stats()) which takes care of this.

The two wireless conflicts were overlapping changes.

Dan Carpenter de39d7a4f3 hsr: off by one sanity check in hsr_register_frame_in()
This is a sanity check and we never pass invalid values so this patch
doesn't change anything.  However the node->time_in[] array has
HSR_MAX_SLAVE (2) elements and not HSR_MAX_DEV (3).

Wei Yongjun 1aee6cc2a5 net/hsr: using kfree_rcu() to simplify the code
The callback function of call_rcu() just calls a kfree(), so we
can use kfree_rcu() instead of call_rcu() + callback function.

Arvid Brodin f421436a59 net/hsr: Add support for the High-availability Seamless Redundancy protocol (HSRv0)
High-availability Seamless Redundancy ("HSR") provides instant failover
redundancy for Ethernet networks. It requires a special network topology where
all nodes are connected in a ring (each node having two physical network
interfaces). It is suited for applications that demand high availability and
very short reaction time.

HSR acts on the Ethernet layer, using a registered Ethernet protocol type to
send special HSR frames in both directions over the ring. The driver creates
virtual network interfaces that can be used just like any ordinary Linux
network interface, for IP/TCP/UDP traffic etc. All nodes in the network ring
must be HSR capable.

This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as described in
IEC 62439-3:2010 (HSRv0).
