From: Menglong Dong <imagedong@xxxxxxxxxxx> In the commit c504e5c2f964 ("net: skb: introduce kfree_skb_reason()"), we added the support of reporting the reasons of skb drops to kfree_skb tracepoint. And in this series patches, reasons for skb drops are added to the link layer, which means that 'net/core/dev.c' is our target. Following functions are processed: sch_handle_egress() __dev_xmit_skb() enqueue_to_backlog() do_xdp_generic() sch_handle_ingress() __netif_receive_skb_core() and following new drop reasons are added (what they mean can be see in the document of them): SKB_DROP_REASON_TC_EGRESS SKB_DROP_REASON_QDISC_DROP SKB_DROP_REASON_CPU_BACKLOG SKB_DROP_REASON_XDP SKB_DROP_REASON_TC_INGRESS SKB_DROP_REASON_PTYPE_ABSENT In order to add skb drop reasons to kfree_skb_list(), the function kfree_skb_list_reason() is introduced in the 2th patch, which will be used in __dev_xmit_skb() in the 3th patch. Changes since v1: - rename SKB_DROP_REASON_QDISC_EGRESS to SKB_DROP_REASON_TC_EGRESS in the 1th patch - remove the 'else' in the 4th patch - rename SKB_DROP_REASON_QDISC_INGRESS to SKB_DROP_REASON_TC_INGRESS in the 6th patch Menglong Dong (7): net: dev: use kfree_skb_reason() for sch_handle_egress() net: skb: introduce the function kfree_skb_list_reason() net: dev: add skb drop reasons to __dev_xmit_skb() net: dev: use kfree_skb_reason() for enqueue_to_backlog() net: dev: use kfree_skb_reason() for do_xdp_generic() net: dev: use kfree_skb_reason() for sch_handle_ingress() net: dev: use kfree_skb_reason() for __netif_receive_skb_core() include/linux/skbuff.h | 26 +++++++++++++++++++++++++- include/trace/events/skb.h | 6 ++++++ net/core/dev.c | 24 +++++++++++++++--------- net/core/skbuff.c | 7 ++++--- 4 files changed, 50 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) -- 2.35.1
