This patch series includes some netns-related improvements and fixes for RTNL and ip_tunnel, to make link creation more intuitive:
- Creating link in another net namespace doesn't conflict with link names in current one. - Refector rtnetlink link creation. Create link in target namespace directly. Pass both source and link netns to drivers via newlink() callback.
So that
# ip link add netns ns1 link-netns ns2 tun0 type gre ...
will create tun0 in ns1, rather than create it in ns2 and move to ns1. And don't conflict with another interface named "tun0" in current netns.

v5: - Fix function doc in batman-adv. - Include peer_net in rtnl newlink parameters.
v4: link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241118143244.1773-1-shaw.leon@gmail.com/ - Pack newlink() parameters to a single struct. - Use ynl async_msg_queue.empty() in selftest.
v3: link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241113125715.150201-1-shaw.leon@gmail.com/ - Drop "netns_atomic" flag and module parameter. Add netns parameter to newlink() instead, and convert drivers accordingly. - Move python NetNSEnter helper to net selftest lib.
v2: link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241107133004.7469-1-shaw.leon@gmail.com/ - Check NLM_F_EXCL to ensure only link creation is affected. - Add self tests for link name/ifindex conflict and notifications in different netns. - Changes in dummy driver and ynl in order to add the test case.

When creating link, lookup for existing device in target net namespace instead of current one. For example, two links created by:
# ip link add dummy1 type dummy # ip link add netns ns1 dummy1 type dummy
should have no conflict since they are in different namespaces.

There are 4 net namespaces involved when creating links:
- source netns - where the netlink socket resides, - target netns - where to put the device being created, - link netns - netns associated with the device (backend), - peer netns - netns of peer device.
Currently, two nets are passed to newlink() callback - "src_net" parameter and "dev_net" (implicitly in net_device). They are set as follows, depending on netlink attributes.
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+ | peer netns | IFLA_LINK_NETNSID | src_net | dev_net | +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+ | | absent | source | target | | absent +-------------------+---------+---------+ | | present | link | link | +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+ | | absent | peer | target | | present +-------------------+---------+---------+ | | present | peer | link | +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is present, the device is created in link netns first. This has some side effects, including extra ifindex allocation, ifname validation and link notifications. There's also an extra step to move the device to target netns. These could be avoided if we create it in target netns at the beginning.
On the other hand, the meaning of src_net is ambiguous. It varies depending on how parameters are passed. It is the effective link or peer netns by design, but some drivers ignore it and use dev_net instead.
This patch refactors netns handling by packing newlink() parameters into a struct, and passing source, link and peer netns as is through this struct. Fallback logic is implemented in helper functions - rtnl_newlink_link_net() and rtnl_newlink_peer_net(). If is not set, peer netns falls back to link netns, and link netns falls back to source netns. rtnl_newlink_create() now creates devices in target netns directly, so dev_net is always target netns.
For drivers that use dev_net as fallback of link_netns, current behavior is kept for compatibility.

There're some issues found when coverting drivers. Please check if they work as intended:
- In amt_newlink() drivers/net/amt.c:
amt->net = net; ... amt->stream_dev = dev_get_by_index(net, ...
Uses net (src_net actually), but amt_lookup_upper_dev() only searches in dev_net.
- In gtp_newlink() in drivers/net/gtp.c:
gtp->net = src_net; ... gn = net_generic(dev_net(dev), gtp_net_id); list_add_rcu(>p->list, &gn->gtp_dev_list);
Uses src_net, but is linked to list in dev_net.
- In pfcp_newlink() in drivers/net/pfcp.c:
pfcp->net = net; ... pn = net_generic(dev_net(dev), pfcp_net_id); list_add_rcu(&pfcp->list, &pn->pfcp_dev_list);
Same.
- In lowpan_newlink() in net/ieee802154/6lowpan/core.c:
wdev = dev_get_by_index(dev_net(ldev), nla_get_u32(tb[IFLA_LINK]));
Looks for IFLA_LINK in dev_net, but in theory the ifindex is defined in link netns.

There are 4 net namespaces involved when creating links:
- source netns - where the netlink socket resides,
- target netns - where to put the device being created,
- link netns - netns associated with the device (backend),
- peer netns - netns of peer device.
Currently, two nets are passed to newlink() callback - "src_net" parameter and "dev_net" (implicitly in net_device). They are set as follows, depending on netlink attributes.
+------------+-------------------+---------+---------+ | peer netns | IFLA_LINK_NETNSID | src_net | dev_net | +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+ | | absent | source | target | | absent +-------------------+---------+---------+ | | present | link | link | +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+ | | absent | peer | target | | present +-------------------+---------+---------+ | | present | peer | link | +------------+-------------------+---------+---------+
When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is present, the device is created in link netns first. This has some side effects, including extra ifindex allocation, ifname validation and link notifications. There's also an extra step to move the device to target netns. These could be avoided if we create it in target netns at the beginning.
On the other hand, the meaning of src_net is ambiguous. It varies depending on how parameters are passed. It is the effective link or peer netns by design, but some drivers ignore it and use dev_net instead.
This patch refactors netns handling by packing newlink() parameters into a struct, and passing source, link and peer netns as is through this struct. Fallback logic is implemented in helper functions - rtnl_newlink_link_net() and rtnl_newlink_peer_net(). If is not set, peer netns falls back to link netns, and link netns falls back to source netns. rtnl_newlink_create() now creates devices in target netns directly, so dev_net is always target netns.
For drivers that use dev_net as fallback of link_netns, current behavior is kept for compatibility.

I must admit this patch is way too huge for me to allow any reasonable review except that this has the potential of breaking a lot of things.
I think you should be splitted to make it more palatable; i.e. - a patch just add the params struct with no semantic changes. - a patch making the dev_change_net_namespace() conditional on net != tge_net[1] - many per-device patches creating directly the device in the target namespace. - a patch reverting [1]
Other may have different opinions, I'd love to hear them.

There are 4 net namespaces involved when creating links:

Thanks. I understand your concern. Since the device is created in common code, how about splitting the patch this way:
1) make the params struct contain both current src_net and other netns: struct rtnl_newlink_params { struct net *net; // renamed from current src_net struct net *src_net; // real src_net struct net *link_net; ... }; 2) convert each driver to use the accurate netns, 3) remove "net", which is not used now, from params struct, 4) change rtnl_newlink_create() to create device in target netns directly.
So 1) will be a big one but has no semantic changes. And I will send Patch 1 in this series to the net tree instead.

Will fix this.
Change netns of current thread and switch back on context exit. For example:
with NetNSEnter("ns1"): ip("link add dummy0 type dummy")
The command be executed in netns "ns1".
