datapath: Fix race against workqueue in dp_dev and simplify code.
The dp_dev_destroy() function failed to cancel the xmit_queue work, which
allowed it to run after the device had been destroyed, accessing freed
memory. However, simply canceling the work with cancel_work_sync() would
be insufficient, since other packets could get queued while the work
function was running. Stopping the queue with netif_tx_disable() doesn't
help, because the final action in dp_dev_do_xmit() is to re-enable the TX
queue.
This issue led me to re-examine why the dp_dev needs to use a work_struct
at all. This was implemented in commit
71f13ed0b "Send of0 packets from
workqueue, to avoid recursive locking of ofN device" due to a complaint
from lockdep about recursive locking.
However, there's no actual reason that we need any locking around
dp_dev_xmit(). Until now, it has accepted the standard locking provided
by the network stack. But looking at the other software devices (veth,
loopback), those use NETIF_F_LLTX, which disables this locking, and
presumably do so for this very reason. In fact, the lwn article at
http://lwn.net/Articles/121566/ hints that NETIF_F_LLTX, which is otherwise
discouraged in the kernel, is acceptable for "certain types of software
device."
So this commit switches to using NETIF_F_LLTX for dp_dev and gets rid
of the work_struct.
In the process, I noticed that veth and loopback also take advantage of
a network device destruction "hook" using the net_device "destructor"
member. Using this we can automatically get called on network device
destruction at the point where rtnl_unlock() is called. This allows us
to stop stringing the dp_devs that are being destroyed onto a list so
that we can free them, and thus simplifies the code along all the paths
that call dp_dev_destroy().
This commit gets rid of a call to synchronize_rcu() (disguised as a call
to synchronize_net(), which is a macro that expands to synchronize_rcu()),
so it probably speeds up deleting ports, too.

Commit
010082639 "datapath: Add sysfs support for all (otherwise supported)

slab object that is freed by the del_dp hook function (when brcompat_mod

the ifobj is part of struct datapath, not a pointer, and thus it is much

dpif: Rename dpif_get_name() to dpif_port_get_name(), update interface.
With multiple kinds of datapaths, code should not just use
"dp%u" along with dpif_minor() to print a datapath name, because not all
datapaths can sensibly be named that way. We want to use a function
with a name like dpif_get_name() to retrieve a datapath name for printing
to the user, in which case the existing dpif_get_name() function would be
confusing. So rename the existing one to something more explicit.

In vSwitch, the minimum probe interval is supposed to be 5 seconds, but

datapath: Fix use-after-free error in datapath destruction.
When we create a datapath we do this:
1. Create local port.
2. Call add_dp hook.
3. Allow userspace to add more ports.
When we deleted a datapath we were doing this:
1. Call del_dp hook
2. Delete all the ports.
Unfortunately step 1 destroys dp->ifobj, then dp_del_port on any port other
than the local port in step 2 tries to reference dp->ifobj through a call
to sysfs_remove_link().
This commit fixes the problem by changing datapath deletion to mirror
creation:
1. Delete all the ports but the local port.
2. Call dp_del hook.
3. Delete local port.
Commit
010082639 "datapath: Add sysfs support for all (otherwise supported)
Linux versions" makes this problem obvious on a 2.6.25+ kernel configured
with slab debugging, because on such kernels the ifobj is a pointer to a
slab object that is freed by the del_dp hook function (when brcompat_mod
is loaded). This bug may be just as present on older kernels, but there
the ifobj is part of struct datapath, not a pointer, and thus it is much
harder to trigger.

xenserver: Remove cacert when user reconfigures the controller
If a user moves from one controller to another, we did not remove the
cacert. This prevents the switch from connecting to the new controller.
To ease confusion, we now delete the cacert when the user changes or
removes the controller in xsconsole.
Note: This commit has a minor security issue, since we do not remove
trust for the old certificate until the switch is restarted. In
general, users should only be connected to trusted servers, so the
impact should be low. Fixes this would require larger changes to the
vconn-ssl code, which we don't want to do so late in the release cycle.

vswitchd: Adding and removing mgmt interface breaks connection
When a managment connection is configured and then removed, putting it
back causes the management connection to never be reestablished. The
management code checks whether the configuration file has changed before
it attempts to reconfigure itself. If the only thing that changed was
the lack of a management connection, then it tore down the connection
but didn't update its view of the configuration. When the same
manager IP is configured, the cached version matches the new version, so
no changes are made. This commit clears the cached version, so that a
removing and then adding the manager will be detected as a change.

datapath: Ignore return value from rtnl_notify().
In Linux 2.6.30, the rtnl_notify() return type was changed from int to
void along with the following commit message:
This patch also modifies the rtnetlink code to ignore the return
value of rtnl_notify() in all callers. The function rtnl_notify()
(before this patch) returned the error of the unicast notification
which makes rtnl_set_sk_err() reports errors to all listeners. This
is not of any help since the origin of the change (the socket that
requested the echoing) notices the ENOBUFS error if the notification
fails and should resync itself.
Thus there's no point in checking the return value, even in older versions
of the kernel, and so this commit changes our code to ignore it, even
on older kernel versions. We also update the rtnl_notify() wrapper macros
to make the return type void on older kernel versions.
This has not been tested, just built.
Thanks to Mikio for spurring me to try building with Linux 2.6.29 and
2.6.30.

cfg: Log accurate waiting times in cfg_lock().
When cfg_lock() has to block for some time to obtain the configuration file
lock, it logs the amount of time that it waited. However, it did not
refresh the current time before it began waiting, so the time that it
logged could be off by a significant amount, which make interpreting the
log file more challenging than it should have been.
This change should mainly affect log output. It should have little or no
effect on Open vSwitch operation because the factor by which the timeouts
were off is an order of magnitude smaller than the actual timeouts that we
pass into the function.
