In rtnl_net_notifyid(), we certainly can't pass a null GFP flag to
rtnl_notify(). A GFP_KERNEL flag would be fine in most circumstances,
but there are a few paths calling rtnl_net_notifyid() from atomic
context or from RCU critical sections. The later also precludes the use
of gfp_any() as it wouldn't detect the RCU case. Also, the nlmsg_new()
call is wrong too, as it uses GFP_KERNEL unconditionally.
Therefore, we need to pass the GFP flags as parameter and propagate it
through function calls until the proper flags can be determined.
In most cases, GFP_KERNEL is fine. The exceptions are:
* openvswitch: ovs_vport_cmd_get() and ovs_vport_cmd_dump()
indirectly call rtnl_net_notifyid() from RCU critical section,
* rtnetlink: rtmsg_ifinfo_build_skb() already receives GFP flags as
parameter.
Also, in ovs_vport_cmd_build_info(), let's change the GFP flags used
by nlmsg_new(). The function is allowed to sleep, so better make the
flags consistent with the ones used in the following
ovs_vport_cmd_fill_info() call.
Found by code inspection.
