David Ahern f3d9832e56 ipv6: addrconf: cleanup locking in ipv6_add_addr 
ipv6_add_addr is called in process context with rtnl lock held
(e.g., manual config of an address) or during softirq processing
(e.g., autoconf and address from a router advertisement).

Currently, ipv6_add_addr calls rcu_read_lock_bh shortly after entry
and does not call unlock until exit, minus the call around the address
validator notifier. Similarly, addrconf_hash_lock is taken after the
validator notifier and held until exit. This forces the allocation of
inet6_ifaddr to always be atomic.

Refactor ipv6_add_addr as follows:
1. add an input boolean to discriminate the call path (process context
   or softirq). This new flag controls whether the alloc can be done
   with GFP_KERNEL or GFP_ATOMIC.

2. Move the rcu_read_lock_bh and unlock calls only around functions that
   do rcu updates.

3. Remove the in6_dev_hold and put added by 3ad7d2468f ("Ipvlan should
   return an error when an address is already in use."). This was done
   presumably because rcu_read_unlock_bh needs to be called before calling
   the validator. Since rcu_read_lock is not needed before the validator
   runs revert the hold and put added by 3ad7d2468f and only do the
   hold when setting ifp->idev.

4. move duplicate address check and insertion of new address in the global
   address hash into a helper. The helper is called after an ifa is
   allocated and filled in.

This allows the ifa for manually configured addresses to be done with
GFP_KERNEL and reduces the overall amount of time with rcu_read_lock held
and hash table spinlock held.

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
