Xin Long 202f59afd4 netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: do not hold dev
It's a terrible thing to hold dev in iptables target. When the dev is
being removed, unregister_netdevice has to wait for the dev to become
free. dmesg will keep logging the err:

  kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for veth0_in to become free. \
  Usage count = 1

until iptables rules with this target are removed manually.

The worse thing is when deleting a netns, a virtual nic will be deleted
instead of reset to init_net in default_device_ops exit/exit_batch. As
it is earlier than to flush the iptables rules in iptable_filter_net_ops
exit, unregister_netdevice will block to wait for the nic to become free.

As unregister_netdevice is actually waiting for iptables rules flushing
while iptables rules have to be flushed after unregister_netdevice. This
'dead lock' will cause unregister_netdevice to block there forever. As
the netns is not available to operate at that moment, iptables rules can
not even be flushed manually either.

The reproducer can be:

  # ip netns add test
  # ip link add veth0_in type veth peer name veth0_out
  # ip link set veth0_in netns test
  # ip netns exec test ip link set lo up
  # ip netns exec test ip link set veth0_in up
  # ip netns exec test iptables -I INPUT -d 1.2.3.4 -i veth0_in -j \
    CLUSTERIP --new --clustermac 89:d4:47:eb:9a:fa --total-nodes 3 \
    --local-node 1 --hashmode sourceip-sourceport
  # ip netns del test

This issue can be triggered by all virtual nics with ipt_CLUSTERIP.

This patch is to fix it by not holding dev in ipt_CLUSTERIP, but saving
the dev->ifindex instead of the dev.

As Pablo Neira Ayuso's suggestion, it will refresh c->ifindex and dev's
mc by registering a netdevice notifier, just as what xt_TEE does. So it
removes the old codes updating dev's mc, and also no need to initialize
c->ifindex with dev->ifindex.

But as one config can be shared by more than one targets, and the netdev
notifier is per config, not per target. It couldn't get e->ip.iniface
in the notifier handler. So e->ip.iniface has to be saved into config.

Note that for backwards compatibility, this patch doesn't remove the
codes checking if the dev exists before creating a config.

v1->v2:
  - As Pablo Neira Ayuso's suggestion, register a netdevice notifier to
    manage c->ifindex and dev's mc.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
