neightbl_dump_info() fetches the first non-default neigh_parms
with list_next_entry(&tbl->parms, ...) and iterates through the
list with list_for_each_entry_from_rcu().
However, list_next_entry() does not use RCU helper.
Let's use list_for_each_entry_rcu() and skip the default parms.

NDTPA_INTERVAL_PROBE_TIME_MS sets .type and .min but misses
.validation_type, so no validation is applied:
# ynl --family rt-neigh --do setneightbl \
--json '{"name": "arp_cache", "parms": {"interval-probe-time-ms": 0}}'
# ynl --family rt-neigh --dump getneightbl --output-json | \
jq '.[] | select(.name == "arp_cache" and has("config"))
| .parms["interval-probe-time-ms"]'
0
Moreover, nla_get_msecs() uses msecs_to_jiffies(), and u64 is
silently cast to u32, so a larger value can bypass the min check:
e.g. 4294967296 == 0x100000000
# ynl --family rt-neigh --do setneightbl \
--json '{"name": "arp_cache", "parms": {"interval-probe-time-ms": 4294967296}}'
# ynl --family rt-neigh --dump getneightbl --output-json | \
jq '.[] | select(.name == "arp_cache" and has("config"))
| .parms["interval-probe-time-ms"]'
0
msecs_to_jiffies() returns MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET if the value is
larger than INT_MAX. Also, INT_MAX ms overflows int NEIGH_VAR()
when HZ > 1000 (Alpha, MIPS), and passing a negative integer to
queue_delayed_work(unsigned long delay) causes sign extension,
which wraps around the expiry time to the past, resulting in it
being handled as 0 delay in the timer wheel.
Let's use NLA_POLICY_FULL_RANGE() and limit the max to 1 day.
The same max check is applied to sysctl as well.
Note that this controls the probe interval for NTF_MANAGED
entries, so the max of 1 day is unlikely to break any
deployments.

Currently, the sysctl range check is not applied to
interval_probe_time_ms, which needs this fix:

The cited commits started to initialise blackhole_netdev with
neigh_parms_alloc().
This is visible in init_net as the ifindex==0 entries via
RTM_GETNEIGHTBL:
# ynl --family rt-neigh --dump getneightbl --output-json \
| jq '.[] | select(.parms.ifindex == 0)
| {name: .name, ifindex: .parms.ifindex}'
{
"name": "arp_cache",
"ifindex": 0
}
{
"name": "ndisc_cache",
"ifindex": 0
}
For RTM_SETNEIGHTBL, ifindex being 0 means wildcard.
Let's skip blackhole_netdev's parms in neightbl_dump_info().
Note that lookup_neigh_parms() does not need the same change
because the default parms is always the first entry and matches
with ifindex == 0.

neightbl_dump_info() calls neightbl_fill_info() in each loop
to render the default parms.
If there are many devices and neightbl_fill_param_info() failed,
neightbl_fill_info() is called again when the dump resumes:
# ynl --family rt-neigh --dump getneightbl --output-json |
jq '.[] | {name: .name, ifindex: .parms.ifindex}'
...
{
"name": "ndisc_cache",
"ifindex": null
}
...
{
"name": "ndisc_cache",
"ifindex": 6
}
{
"name": "ndisc_cache",
"ifindex": null
}
{
"name": "ndisc_cache",
"ifindex": 5
}
Let's skip neightbl_fill_info() if it is already called in
neightbl_dump_info().
Note that we cannot use !neigh_skip instead of !default_skip
because default_skip == 1 && neigh_skip == 0 could be true
if the first neightbl_fill_param_info() fails.
Also, nidx must be cleared at the end of each table loop;
otherwise, if neightbl_fill_info() for a subsequent table
fails, the leftover nidx from the previous table would be
saved in cb->args[1], resulting in erroneously skipping parms
of the subsequent table in the next dump.
