In order to pass extack together with NETDEV_PRE_UP notifications, it's
necessary to route the extack to __dev_open() from diverse (possibly
indirect) callers. One prominent API through which the notification is
invoked is dev_open().
Therefore extend dev_open() with and extra extack argument and update
all users. Most of the calls end up just encoding NULL, but bond and
team drivers have the extack readily available.

When we add a new IPv6 address, we should also join corresponding solicited-node
multicast address, unless the interface has IFF_NOARP flag, as function
addrconf_join_solict() did. But if we remove IFF_NOARP flag later, we do
not do dad and add the mcast address. So we will drop corresponding neighbour
discovery message that came from other nodes.
A typical example is after creating a ipvlan with mode l3, setting up an ipv6
address and changing the mode to l2. Then we will not be able to ping this
address as the interface doesn't join related solicited-node mcast address.
Fix it by re-doing dad when interface changed IFF_NOARP flag. Then we will add
corresponding mcast group and check if there is a duplicate address on the
network.

The loop wants to skip previously dumped addresses, so loops until

the index for the next address to dump - ie., the one that did not
fit in the current message.
Currently, it is incrementing the index counter before comparing to the
saved index, and then the saved index is off by 1 - it assumes the
current address is going to fit in the message.
Change the index handling to increment only after a succesful dump.

The backend handling for /proc/net/if_inet6 in addrconf.c doesn't properly
handle starting/stopping the iteration. The problem is that at some point
during the iteration, an overflow is detected and the process is
subsequently stopped. The item being shown via seq_printf() when the
overflow occurs is not actually shown, though. When start() is
subsequently called to resume iterating, it returns the next item, and
thus the item that was being processed when the overflow occurred never
gets printed.
Alter the meaning of the private data member "offset". Currently, when it
is not 0 (which only happens at the very beginning), "offset" represents
the next hlist item to be printed. After this change, "offset" always
represents the current item.
This is also consistent with the private data member "bucket", which
represents the current bucket, and also the use of "pos" as defined in
seq_file.txt:
The pos passed to start() will always be either zero, or the most
recent pos used in the previous session.

There is no way currently for an IPv6 client connect using a loopback
address in a VRF, whereas for IPv4 the loopback address can be added:
$ sudo ip addr add dev vrfred 127.0.0.1/8
$ sudo ip -6 addr add ::1/128 dev vrfred
RTNETLINK answers: Cannot assign requested address
So allow ::1 to be configured on an L3 master device. In order for
this to be usable ip_route_output_flags needs to not consider ::1 to
be a link scope address (since oif == l3mdev and so it would be
dropped), and ipv6_rcv needs to consider the l3mdev to be a loopback
device so that it doesn't drop the packets.

- Backwards Compatibility:
If userspace wants to determine whether ipv6 RTM_GETADDR requests
support the new IFA_TARGET_NETNSID property it should verify that the
reply includes the IFA_TARGET_NETNSID property. If it does not
userspace should assume that IFA_TARGET_NETNSID is not supported for
ipv6 RTM_GETADDR requests on this kernel.
- From what I gather from current userspace tools that make use of
RTM_GETADDR requests some of them pass down struct ifinfomsg when they
should actually pass down struct ifaddrmsg. To not break existing
tools that pass down the wrong struct we will do the same as for
RTM_GETLINK | NLM_F_DUMP requests and not error out when the

addrconf_sysctl_addr_gen_mode() has multiple problems. First, it ignores
the errors returned by proc_dointvec().
addrconf_sysctl_addr_gen_mode() calls proc_dointvec() directly, which
writes the value to memory, and then checks if it's valid and may return
EINVAL. If a bad value is given, the value displayed when reading
net.ipv6.conf.foo.addr_gen_mode next time will be invalid. In case the
value provided by the user was valid, addrconf_dev_config() won't be
called since idev->cnf.addr_gen_mode has already been updated.
Fix this in the usual way we deal with values that need to be checked
after the proc_do*() helper has returned: define a local ctl_table and
storage, call proc_dointvec() on that temporary area, then check and
store.
addrconf_sysctl_addr_gen_mode() also writes the new value to the global
ipv6_devconf_dflt, when we're writing to some netns's default, so that
new netns will inherit the value that was set by the change occuring in
any netns. That doesn't make any sense, so let's drop this assignment.
Finally, since addr_gen_mode is a __u32, switch to proc_douintvec().
