[PATCH net-next 0/9] vxlan: convert configuration to RCU and drop RTNL in vxlan_fill_info()

[Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>]

This series converts VXLAN device configuration (struct vxlan_config) to RCU
protection and removes the RTNL dependency from vxlan_fill_info(), enabling
lockless netlink link dumps (RTM_GETLINK) for VXLAN devices.

Patches 1-3 fix pre-existing issues uncovered while auditing RCU and VNIFILTER
paths:
  - Patch 1 zero-initializes _md on the stack in vxlan_xmit_one() to avoid
    leaking uninitialized stack bytes into GBP header fields when metadata
    options are absent.
  - Patch 2 fixes a use-after-free in vxlan_vnigroup_uninit() where
    struct vxlan_vni_group was freed synchronously instead of via RCU.
  - Patch 3 fixes lockless iteration over vg->vni_list in
    vxlan_vnifilter_dump_dev() to use list_for_each_entry_rcu(), and clears
    cb->args[1] on early returns to avoid leaking dump state across devices.

Patches 4-7 convert vxlan->cfg to an RCU-protected pointer:
  - Patch 4 refactors RX, TX, MDB, and VNIFILTER helpers to take a
    const struct vxlan_config * pointer parameter.
  - Patch 5 moves the internal runtime state flag VXLAN_F_MDB out of
    struct vxlan_config into atomic bitops (VXLAN_DEV_F_MDB) on
    vxlan->flags, avoiding RCU reallocation of vxlan_config on MDB updates.
  - Patch 6 converts struct vxlan_config from an embedded struct in
    struct vxlan_dev to a dynamically allocated pointer.
  - Patch 7 adds RCU annotations (__rcu), updates configuration changes to
    publish new configs via rcu_assign_pointer() and free old ones via
    kfree_rcu(), and protects readers under rcu_read_lock().

Patches 8-9 clean up redundant state and remove RTNL from dumps:
  - Patch 8 removes vxlan->default_dst (struct vxlan_rdst), tracks the
    lower netdevice via vxlan->lowerdev, and switches remaining readers to
    access attributes directly from vxlan->cfg.
  - Patch 9 updates vxlan_fill_info() to dereference vxlan->cfg under
    rcu_read_lock() instead of relying on RTNL.


Eric Dumazet (9):
  vxlan: initialize _md in vxlan_xmit_one()
  vxlan: vnifilter: free vxlan_vni_group via RCU in
    vxlan_vnigroup_uninit()
  vxlan: vnifilter: use list_for_each_entry_rcu() in
    vxlan_vnifilter_dump_dev()
  vxlan: pass vxlan_config pointer to helper functions
  vxlan: move VXLAN_F_MDB to struct vxlan_dev flags
  vxlan: dynamically allocate struct vxlan_config
  vxlan: convert configuration to RCU protection
  vxlan: remove default_dst and use vxlan_config and lowerdev
  vxlan: no longer rely on RTNL in vxlan_fill_info()
