Florian Westphal 7f0fddd817 net: core: fix lockdep splat on device unregister
Since blamed commit, unregister_netdevice_many_notify() takes the netdev
mutex if the device needs it.

If the device list is too long, this will lock more device mutexes than
lockdep can handle:

unshare -n \
 bash -c 'for i in $(seq 1 100);do ip link add foo$i type dummy;done'

BUG: MAX_LOCK_DEPTH too low!
turning off the locking correctness validator.
depth: 48  max: 48!
48 locks held by kworker/u16:1/69:
 #0: ..148 ((wq_completion)netns){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: process_one_work
 #1: ..d40 (net_cleanup_work){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: process_one_work
 #2: ..bd0 (pernet_ops_rwsem){++++}-{4:4}, at: cleanup_net
 #3: ..aa8 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: default_device_exit_batch
 #4: ..cb0 (&dev_instance_lock_key#3){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: unregister_netdevice_many_notify
[..]

Add a helper to close and then unlock a list of net_devices.
Devices that are not up have to be skipped - netif_close_many always
removes them from the list without any other actions taken, so they'd
remain in locked state.

Close devices whenever we've used up half of the tracking slots or we
processed entire list without hitting the limit.

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.
