Merge branch 'mlxsw-extack'
David Ahern says: ==================== mlxsw: spectrum_router: Add extack messages for RIF and VRF overflow Currently, exceeding the number of VRF instances or the number of router interfaces either fails with a non-intuitive EBUSY: $ ip li set swp1s1.6 vrf vrf-1s1-6 up RTNETLINK answers: Device or resource busy or fails silently (IPv6) since the checks are done in a work queue. This set adds support for the address validator notifier to spectrum which allows ext-ack based messages to be returned on failure. To make that happen the IPv6 version needs to be converted from atomic to blocking (patch 2), and then support for extack needs to be added to the notifier (patch 3). Patch 1 reworks the locking in ipv6_add_addr to work better in the atomic and non-atomic code paths. Patches 4 and 5 add the validator notifier to spectrum and then plumb the extack argument through spectrum_router. With this set, VRF overflows fail with: $ ip li set swp1s1.6 vrf vrf-1s1-6 up Error: spectrum: Exceeded number of supported VRF. and RIF overflows fail with: $ ip addr add dev swp1s2.191 10.12.191.1/24 Error: spectrum: Exceeded number of supported router interfaces. v2 -> v3 - fix surround context of patch 4 which was altered by c30f5d01 v1 -> v2 - fix error path in ipv6_add_addr: reset rt to NULL (Ido comment) and add in6_dev_put on ifa once the hold has been done RFC -> v1 - addressed various comments from Ido - refactored ipv6_add_addr to allow ifa's to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL as requested by DaveM ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
