This fixes the output of rps_default_mask and flow_limit_cpu_bitmap when

The underlying values are actually stored correctly when writing to
these sysctl but displaying them uses a fixed length temporary buffer in
dump_cpumask. This buffer can be too small if the CPU count is > 448.
Fix this by dynamically allocating the buffer in dump_cpumask, using a

When computing the length we'll be able to use out of the buffers, one
char is removed from the temporary one to make room for a newline. It
should be removed from the output buffer length too, but in reality this
is not needed as the later call to scnprintf makes sure a null char is
written at the end of the buffer which we override with the newline.

Before adding a new line at the end of the temporary buffer in
dump_cpumask, a length check is performed to ensure there is space for
it.
len = min(sizeof(kbuf) - 1, *lenp);
len = scnprintf(kbuf, len, ...);
if (len < *lenp)
kbuf[len++] = '\n';
Note that the check is currently logically wrong, the written length is
compared against the output buffer, not the temporary one. However this
has no consequence as this is always true, even if fixed: scnprintf
includes a null char at the end of the buffer but the returned length do
not include it and there is always space for overriding it with a
newline.

net: netconsole refactoring and warning fix
The netconsole driver was showing a warning related to userdata
information, depending on the message size being transmitted:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 13 PID: 3013042 at drivers/net/netconsole.c:1122 write_ext_msg+0x3b6/0x3d0
? write_ext_msg+0x3b6/0x3d0
console_flush_all+0x1e9/0x330
...
Identifying the cause of this warning proved to be non-trivial due to:
* The write_ext_msg() function being over 100 lines long
* Extensive use of pointer arithmetic
* Inconsistent naming conventions and concept application
The send_ext_msg() function grew organically over time:
* Initially, the UDP packet consisted of a header and body
* Later additions included release prepend and userdata
* Naming became inconsistent (e.g., "body" excludes userdata, "header"
excludes prepended release)
This lack of consistency made investigating issues like the above warning
more challenging than what it should be.
To address these issues, the following steps were taken:
* Breaking down write_ext_msg() into smaller functions with clear scopes
* Improving readability and reasoning about the code
* Simplifying and clarifying naming conventions
Warning Fix
-----------
The warning occurred when there was insufficient buffer space to append
userdata. While this scenario is acceptable (as userdata can be sent in a
separate packet later), the kernel was incorrectly raising a warning. A
one-line fix has been implemented to resolve this issue.
The fix was already sent to net, and is already available in net-next
also.

Refactor the send_msg_fragmented() function by extracting the logic for
sending the message body into a new function called
send_fragmented_body().
Now, send_msg_fragmented() handles appending the release and header, and
then delegates the task of breaking up the body and sending the
fragments to send_fragmented_body().
This is the final flow now:
When send_ext_msg_udp() is called to send a message, it will:
- call send_msg_no_fragmentation() if no fragmentation is needed
or
- call send_msg_fragmented() if fragmentation is needed
* send_msg_fragmented() appends the header to the buffer, which is
be persisted until the function returns
* call send_fragmented_body() to iterate and populate the body of
the message. It will not touch the header, and it will only
replace the body, writing the msgbody and/or userdata.
Also add some comment to make the code easier to review.

selftests: net: Introduce deferred commands
Recently, a defer helper was added to Python selftests. The idea is to keep
cleanup commands close to their dirtying counterparts, thereby making it
more transparent what is cleaning up what, making it harder to miss a
cleanup, and make the whole cleanup business exception safe. All these
benefits are applicable to bash as well, exception safety can be
interpreted in terms of safety vs. a SIGINT.
This patchset therefore introduces a framework of several helpers that
serve to schedule cleanups in bash selftests.
- Patch #1 has more details about the primitives being introduced.
Patch #2 adds a fallback cleanup() function to lib.sh, because ideally
selftests wouldn't need to introduce a dedicated cleanup function at all.
- Patch #3 adds a parameter to stop_traffic(), which makes it possible to
start other background processes after the traffic is started without
confusing the cleanup.
- Patches #4 to #10 convert a number of selftests.
The goal was to convert all tests that use start_traffic / stop_traffic
to the defer framework. Leftover traffic generators are a particularly
painful sort of a missed cleanup. Normal unfinished cleanups can usually
be cleaned up simply by rerunning the test and interrupting it early to
let the cleanups run again / in full. This does not work with
stop_traffic, because it is only issued at the end of the test case that
starts the traffic. At the same time, leftover traffic generators
influence follow-up test runs, and are hard to notice.
The tests were however converted whole-sale, not just their traffic bits.
Thus they form a proof of concept of the defer framework.

Consistent use of defers obviates the need for a separate test-specific
cleanup function -- everything is just taken care of in defers. So in this
patch, introduce a cleanup() helper in the forwarding lib.sh, which calls
just pre_cleanup() and defer_scopes_cleanup(). Selftests are obviously
still free to override the function.
Since pre_cleanup() is too entangled with forwarding-specific minutia, the

In commit 8510801a9d ("selftests: drv-net: add ability to schedule
cleanup with defer()"), a defer helper was added to Python selftests.
The idea is to keep cleanup commands close to their dirtying counterparts,
thereby making it more transparent what is cleaning up what, making it
harder to miss a cleanup, and make the whole cleanup business exception
safe. All these benefits are applicable to bash as well, exception safety
can be interpreted in terms of safety vs. a SIGINT.
This patch therefore introduces a framework of several helpers that serve
to schedule cleanups in bash selftests:
- defer_scope_push(), defer_scope_pop(): Deferred statements can be batched
together in scopes. When a scope is popped, the deferred commands
scheduled in that scope are executed in the order opposite to order of
their scheduling.
- defer(): Schedules a defer to the most recently pushed scope (or the
default scope if none was pushed.)
- defer_prio(): Schedules a defer on the priority track. The priority defer
queue is run before the default defer queue when scope is popped.
The issue that this is addressing is specifically the one of restoring
devlink shared buffer threshold type. When setting up static thresholds,
one has to first change the threshold type to static, then override the
individual thresholds. When cleaning up, it would be natural to reset the
threshold values first, then change the threshold type. But the values
that are valid for dynamic thresholds are generally invalid for static
thresholds and vice versa. Attempts to restore the values first would be
bounced. Thus one has to first reset the threshold type, then adjust the
thresholds.
(You could argue that the shared buffer threshold type API is broken and
you would be right, but here we are.)
This cannot be solved by pure defers easily. I considered making it
possible to disable an existing defer, so that one could then schedule a
new defer and disable the original. But this forward-shifting of the
defer job would have to take place after every threshold-adjusting
command, which would make it very awkward to schedule these jobs.
- defer_scopes_cleanup(): Pops any unpopped scopes, including the default
one. The selftests that use defer should run this in their exit trap.
This is important to get cleanups of interrupted scripts.
- in_defer_scope(): Sometimes a function would like to introduce a new
defer scope, then run whatever it is that it wants to run, and then pop
the scope to run the deferred cleanups. The helper in_defer_scope() can
be used to run another command within such environment, such that any
scheduled defers run after the command finishes.
The framework is added as a separate file lib/sh/defer.sh so that it can be
used by all bash selftests, including those that do not currently use
lib.sh. lib.sh however includes the file by default, because ideally all
tests would use these helpers instead of hand-rolling their cleanups.

Once RTNL is replaced with rtnl_net_lock(), we need a mechanism to
guarantee that rtnl_af_ops is alive during inflight RTM_SETLINK

Let's use SRCU to protect ops.
rtnl_af_lookup() now iterates rtnl_af_ops under RCU and returns
SRCU-protected ops pointer. The caller must call rtnl_af_put()
to release the pointer after the use.
Also, rtnl_af_unregister() unlinks the ops first and calls
synchronize_srcu() to wait for inflight RTM_SETLINK requests to
complete.
Note that rtnl_af_ops needs to be protected by its dedicated lock
when RTNL is removed.

error handling as a different af_ops might be found after
