When the devices namespace is changed the socket namespace and the device
namespace might differ. The net_eq(dev_net(dev), sock_net(sk)) check in
the CAN protocols netdev notifiers therefore led to skipping the required
removal of the CAN filters from the (namespace changed) CAN devices.
This patch removes the namespace equality check in the netdev notifiers for
BCM, ISOTP and RAW sockets. Since the struct net_device pointer is globally
unique, the notifier should always process the unregister event and remove
the CAN filters if it matches the original socket's bound device pointer.
In bcm.c netdevice comparisons were performed by checking the interface
index (bo->ifindex and op->ifindex) which is not namespace-safe either.
Introduce tracked netdevice pointers (bo->dev and op->tx_dev) for these
referenced devices to enable namespace-save device comparisons.
Additional put all bo->dev accesses in bcm_notify() under lock_sock().
In isotp.c the two missing can_rx_unregister() calling sites are converted
to use dev_net(dev) instead of sock_net(sk) to get the correct namespace.

To: linux-can; +Cc: Oliver Hartkopp, stable, Oleksij Rempel
Commit 4e096a18867a ("net: introduce CAN specific pointer in the struct
net_device") introduced an explicit way to assign the midlayer private
pointer (dev->ml_priv) to named users like ML_PRIV_CAN.
With this extension the CAN device specific ml_priv assignment became a
robust indicator to identify a valid CAN device, when can_get_ml_priv()
returns a valid pointer.
This has been used directly by the referenced commit in the CAN specific
j1939 and proc code but not in the other parts of the CAN subsystem.
With the TUN/TAP driver a device's ARPHRD type can be controlled by
userspace independently of its midlayer private data (ml_priv). The
TUNSETLINK ioctl allows a down TUN/TAP device to overwrite its hardware
type to become ARPHRD_CAN while dev->ml_priv remains NULL (uninitialized).
Instead of checking dev->type being the unreliable ARPHRD_CAN value convert
the missing "valid CAN devices" checks to can_get_ml_priv().
Fixes: 4e096a18867a ("net: introduce CAN specific pointer in the struct net_device")

To: linux-can; +Cc: Oliver Hartkopp, Jörg Willmann, stable
Commit d4fb6514ff8e ("can: use skb hash instead of private variable in
headroom") introduced a regression when Receive Packet Steering (RPS)
is enabled.
When RPS is active, the network stack calculates a software hash via
skb_get_hash() before the frame reaches the CAN subsystem. Because the
flow dissector finds no L3/L4 headers in CAN frames, it generates a static
software hash for every CAN packet and sets skb->sw_hash to 1.
Since can_set_skb_uid() originally skipped generating a unique identifier
if skb->hash was already non-zero, it preserved this colliding RPS hash.
If the SLAB allocator subsequently reused the same memory address for a
different skb pointer, raw_rcv() falsely discarded the new, legitimate
frame as a duplicate.
Fix this by moving the unique identification decision logic into the CAN
skb extension (struct can_skb_ext). Introduce a new flag CAN_EXT_UID in
can_ext_flags to explicitly track whether a unique CAN skb identifier has
been assigned to the frame. can_set_skb_uid() now unconditionally
overwrites any pre-calculated network layer hashes with the unique CAN UID
if the flag is not yet set.
Additionally force the generation of a new CAN UID for CAN skbs routed via
can-gw.
Fixes: d4fb6514ff8e ("can: use skb hash instead of private variable in headroom")
