Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 net-next 09/12] net: net_failover: ensure .ndo_get_stats64 can sleep

From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@....com>

The failover framework sets up a virtio_net interface [ when it has the
VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY feature ] and a VF interface, having the same MAC
address, in a standby/active relationship. When the active VF is
unplugged, the standby virtio_net temporarily kicks in.

The failover framework registers a common upper for the active and the
standby interface, which is what the application layer uses. This is
similar to bonding/team. The statistics of the upper interface are the
sum of the statistics of the active and of the standby interface.

There is an effort to convert .ndo_get_stats64 to sleepable context, and
for that to work, we need to prevent callers of dev_get_stats from using
atomic locking. The failover driver needs protection via an RCU
read-side critical section to access the standby and the active
interface. This has two features:
- It is atomic: this needs to change.
- It is reentrant: this is ok, because generally speaking, dev_get_stats
  is recursive, and taking global locks is a bad thing from a recursive
  context.

A better locking architecture would be to do what the team driver does.
Instead of using something as broad as the rtnl_mutex to ensure
serialization of updates, it should use something more specific, like a
private mutex. This patch adds that and names it slaves_lock. The
slaves_lock now protects the only updater, the rcu_assign_pointer
sections from net_failover_slave_register.

In the team driver, a separate lockdep class is created for each team
lock, to account for possible nesting (team over team over ...). For the
net_failover driver, we can do something simpler, which is to just not
hold any lock while we call dev_get_stats recursively. We can "cheat"
and use dev_hold to take a reference on the active and backup interfaces,
and netdev_wait_allrefs() will just have to wait until we finish.
