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

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 bonding driver retrieves its statistics recursively from its lower
interfaces, with additional care to only count packets sent/received
while those lowers were actually enslaved to the bond - see commit
5f0c5f73e5ef ("bonding: make global bonding stats more reliable").

Since commit 87163ef9cda7 ("bonding: remove last users of bond->lock and
bond->lock itself"), the bonding driver uses the following protection
for its array of slaves: RCU for readers and rtnl_mutex for updaters.
This is not great because there is another movement [ somehow
simultaneous with the one to make .ndo_get_stats64 sleepable ] to reduce
driver usage of rtnl_mutex. This makes sense, because the rtnl_mutex has
become a very contended resource.

The aforementioned commit removed an interesting comment:

	/* [...] we can't hold bond->lock [...] because we'll
	 * deadlock. The only solution is to rely on the fact
	 * that we're under rtnl_lock here, and the slaves
	 * list won't change. This doesn't solve the problem
	 * of setting the slave's MTU while it is
	 * transmitting, but the assumption is that the base
	 * driver can handle that.
	 *
	 * TODO: figure out a way to safely iterate the slaves
	 * list, but without holding a lock around the actual
	 * call to the base driver.
	 */

The above summarizes pretty well the challenges we have with nested
bonding interfaces (bond over bond over bond over...), which need to be
addressed by a better locking scheme that also not relies on the bloated
rtnl_mutex for the update side of the slaves array. That issue is not
addressed here, but there is a way around it.

To solve the nesting problem, the simple way is to not hold any locks
when recursing into the slave netdev operation. We can "cheat" and use
dev_hold to take a reference on the slave net_device, which is enough to
ensure that netdev_wait_allrefs() waits until we finish, and the kernel
won't fault.

However, the slave structure might no longer be valid, just its
associated net_device. So we need to do some more work to ensure that
the slave exists after we took the statistics, and if it still does,
reapply the logic from Andy's commit 5f0c5f73e5ef.

Tested using the following two scripts running in parallel:

	#!/bin/bash

	while :; do
		ip link del bond0
		ip link del bond1
		ip link add bond0 type bond mode 802.3ad
		ip link add bond1 type bond mode 802.3ad
		ip link set sw0p1 down && ip link set sw0p1 master bond0 && ip link set sw0p1 up
		ip link set sw0p2 down && ip link set sw0p2 master bond0 && ip link set sw0p2 up
		ip link set sw0p3 down && ip link set sw0p3 master bond0 && ip link set sw0p3 up
		ip link set bond0 down && ip link set bond0 master bond1 && ip link set bond0 up
		ip link set sw1p1 down && ip link set sw1p1 master bond1 && ip link set sw1p1 up
		ip link set bond1 up
		ip -s -s link show
		cat /sys/class/net/bond1/statistics/*
	done

	#!/bin/bash

	while :; do
		echo spi2.0 > /sys/bus/spi/drivers/sja1105/unbind
		echo spi2.0 > /sys/bus/spi/drivers/sja1105/bind
		sleep 30
	done

where the sja1105 driver was explicitly modified for the purpose of this
test to have a msleep(500) in its .ndo_get_stats64 method, to catch some
more potential races.

---
Changes in v5:
- Use rcu_read_lock() and do not change the locking architecture of
  the driver.
- Gave some details on my testing procedure.

Changes in v4:
Now there is code to propagate errors.

Changes in v3:
- Added kfree(dev_stats);
- Removed the now useless stats_lock (bond->bond_stats and
  slave->slave_stats are now protected by bond->slaves_lock)

Changes in v2:
Switched to the new scheme of holding just a refcnt to the slave
interfaces while recursing with dev_get_stats.
