net: Improve netns handling in rtnetlink
This patch series includes some netns-related improvements and fixes for
rtnetlink, to make link creation more intuitive:
1) Creating link in another net namespace doesn't conflict with link
names in current one.
2) Refector rtnetlink link creation. Create link in target namespace
directly.
So that
# ip link add netns ns1 link-netns ns2 tun0 type gre ...
will create tun0 in ns1, rather than create it in ns2 and move to ns1.
And don't conflict with another interface named "tun0" in current netns.
Patch 01 avoids link name conflict in different netns.
To achieve 2), there're mainly 3 steps:
- Patch 02 packs newlink() parameters into a struct, including
the original "src_net" along with more netns context. No semantic
changes are introduced.
- Patch 03 ~ 09 converts device drivers to use the explicit netns
extracted from params.
- Patch 10 ~ 11 removes the old netns parameter, and converts
rtnetlink to create device in target netns directly.
Patch 12 ~ 13 adds some tests for link name and link netns.
---
Please note there're some issues found in current code:
- In amt_newlink() drivers/net/amt.c:
amt->net = net;
...
amt->stream_dev = dev_get_by_index(net, ...
Uses net, but amt_lookup_upper_dev() only searches in dev_net.
So the AMT device may not be properly deleted if it's in a different
netns from lower dev.
- In lowpan_newlink() in net/ieee802154/6lowpan/core.c:
wdev = dev_get_by_index(dev_net(ldev), nla_get_u32(tb[IFLA_LINK]));
Looks for IFLA_LINK in dev_net, but in theory the ifindex is defined
in link netns.
And thanks to Kuniyuki for fixing related issues in gtp and pfcp:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
