Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using
netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources
can occur in one of two different places.
Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor().
The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon
whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it
is safe to perform the freeing.
netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the
NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast
address lists are flushed.
netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the
netdev references all go away.
Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor()
almost universally does also a free_netdev().
This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice().
Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing
of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice()
fails.
If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside
of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But
it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor().
This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and
then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same.
However, this means that the resources that would normally be released
by netdev->destructor() will not be.
Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by
invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice()
fails.
Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks.
Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what
private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether
the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev().
netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private
resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for
free_netdev().
netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether
free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice().
Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after
ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit()
and netdev->priv_destructor().
And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke
netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev().

Static family IDs have never really been used, the only
use case was the workaround I introduced for those users
that assumed their family ID was also their multicast
group ID.
Additionally, because static family IDs would never be
reserved by the generic netlink code, using a relatively
low ID would only work for built-in families that can be
registered immediately after generic netlink is started,
which is basically only the control family (apart from
the workaround code, which I also had to add code for so
it would reserve those IDs)
Thus, anything other than GENL_ID_GENERATE is flawed and
luckily not used except in the cases I mentioned. Move
those workarounds into a few lines of code, and then get
rid of GENL_ID_GENERATE entirely, making it more robust.

Looking at current situation of memory management in 6lowpan receive
function I detected some invalid handling. After calling
lowpan_invoke_rx_handlers we will do a kfree_skb and then NET_RX_DROP on
error handling. We don't do this before, also on
skb_share_check/skb_unshare which might manipulate the reference
counters.
After running some 'grep -r "dev_add_pack" net/' to look how others
packet-layer receive callbacks works I detected that every subsystem do
a kfree_skb, then NET_RX_DROP without calling skb functions which
might manipulate the skb reference counters. This is the reason why we
should do the same here like all others subsystems. I didn't find any
documentation how the packet-layer receive callbacks handle NET_RX_DROP
return values either.
This patch will add a kfree_skb, then NET_RX_DROP handling for the
"trivial checks", in case of skb_share_check/skb_unshare the kfree_skb
call will be done inside these functions.

This patch cleanups needed_headroom, needed_tailroom and hard_header_len
fields for wpan and lowpan interfaces.
For wpan interfaces the worst case mac header len should be part of
needed_headroom, currently this is set as hard_header_len, but
hard_header_len should be set to the minimum header length which xmit
call assumes and this is the minimum frame length of 802.15.4.
The hard_header_len value will check inside send callbacl of AF_PACKET
raw sockets.
For lowpan interfaces, if fragmentation isn't needed the skb will
call dev_hard_header for 802154 layer and queue it afterwards. This
happens without new skb allocation, so we need the same headroom and
tailroom lengths like 802154 inside 802154 6lowpan layer. At least we
assume as minimum header length an ipv6 header size.

The current header_ops callback structure of net device are used mostly
from 802.15.4 upper-layers. Because this callback structure is a very
generic one, which is also used by e.g. DGRAM AF_PACKET sockets, we
can't make this callback structure 802.15.4 specific which is currently
is.
I saw the smallest "constraint" for calling this callback with
dev_hard_header/dev_parse_header by AF_PACKET which assign a 8 byte
array for address void pointers. Currently 802.15.4 specific protocols
like af802154 and 6LoWPAN will assign the "struct ieee802154_addr" as
these parameters which is greater than 8 bytes. The current callback
implementation for header_ops.create assumes always a complete
"struct ieee802154_addr" which AF_PACKET can't never handled and is
greater than 8 bytes.
For that reason we introduce now a "generic" create/parse header_ops
callback which allows handling with intra-pan extended addresses only.
This allows a small use-case with AF_PACKET to send "somehow" a valid
dataframe over DGRAM.
To keeping the current dev_hard_header behaviour we introduce a similar
callback structure "wpan_dev_header_ops" which contains 802.15.4 specific
upper-layer header creation functionality, which can be called by
wpan_dev_hard_header.

The ESC dispatch value has some history and it originally was 0x7f in rfc4944
(see section-5.1). With the release of rfc6282 this value got part of the
LOWPAN_IPHC range and was no longer available for ESC. Instead 0x40 was used
as replacement (see section-2 in rfc6282).
We have been checking the dispatch byte in an order where IPHC would always be
evaluated before ESC and thus we would never reach the ESC check as the IPHC
range already covers this value.
