net: refine dev_put()/dev_hold() debugging
We are still chasing some syzbot reports where we think a rogue dev_put() is called with no corresponding prior dev_hold(). Unfortunately it eats a reference on dev->dev_refcnt taken by innocent dev_hold_track(), meaning that the refcount saturation splat comes too late to be useful. Make sure that 'not tracked' dev_put() and dev_hold() better use CONFIG_NET_DEV_REFCNT_TRACKER=y debug infrastructure: Prior patch in the series allowed ref_tracker_alloc() and ref_tracker_free() to be called with a NULL @trackerp parameter, and to use a separate refcount only to detect too many put() even in the following case: dev_hold_track(dev, tracker_1, GFP_ATOMIC); dev_hold(dev); dev_put(dev); dev_put(dev); // Should complain loudly here. dev_put_track(dev, tracker_1); // instead of here Add clarification about netdev_tracker_alloc() role. v2: I replaced the dev_put() in linkwatch_do_dev() with __dev_put() because callers called netdev_tracker_free().
