    net: add networking namespace refcount tracker · 9ba74e6c
    Eric Dumazet authored
    We have 100+ syzbot reports about netns being dismantled too soon,
    still unresolved as of today.
    
    We think a missing get_net() or an extra put_net() is the root cause.
    
    In order to find the bug(s), and be able to spot future ones,
    this patch adds CONFIG_NET_NS_REFCNT_TRACKER and new helpers
    to precisely pair all put_net() with corresponding get_net().
    
    To use these helpers, each data structure owning a refcount
    should also use a "netns_tracker" to pair the get and put.
