[PATCH net-next v6 02/11] rtnetlink: Pack newlink() params into struct

18 Dec 2024

There are 4 net namespaces involved when creating links:
- source netns - where the netlink socket resides,
 - target netns - where to put the device being created,
 - link netns - netns associated with the device (backend),
 - peer netns - netns of peer device.
Currently, two nets are passed to newlink() callback - "src_net"
parameter and "dev_net" (implicitly in net_device). They are set as
follows, depending on netlink attributes in the request.
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
 | peer netns | IFLA_LINK_NETNSID | src_net | dev_net |
 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | absent            | source  | target  |
 | absent     +-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | present           | link    | link    |
 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | absent            | peer    | target  |
 | present    +-------------------+---------+---------+
 |            | present           | peer    | link    |
 +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is present, the device is created in link netns
first and then moved to target netns. This has some side effects,
including extra ifindex allocation, ifname validation and link events.
These could be avoided if we create it in target netns from
the beginning.
On the other hand, the meaning of src_net parameter is ambiguous. It
varies depending on how parameters are passed. It is the effective
link (or peer netns) by design, but some drivers ignore it and use
dev_net instead.
This patch packs existing newlink() parameters, along with the source
netns, link netns and peer netns, into a struct. The old "src_net"
is renamed to "net" to avoid confusion with real source netns, and
will be deprecated later. The use of src_net are converted to
params->net trivially.
To make the semantics more clear, two helper functions -
rtnl_newlink_link_net() and rtnl_newlink_peer_net() - are provided
for netns fallback logic. Peer netns falls back to link netns, and
link netns falls back to source netns.
In following patches, to prepare for creating link in target netns
directly:
- For device drivers that are aware of the old "src_net", the use of
    it are replace with one of the two helper functions.
  - And for those that takes dev_net() as link netns, we try
    params->link_net and then dev_net(), in order to maintain
    compatibility with the old behavior.
