From: Menglong Dong <imagedong@xxxxxxxxxxx> The code of skb_drop_reason is a little wild, let's reorganize them. Three things and three patches: 1) Move the enum 'skb_drop_reason' and related function to the standalone header 'dropreason.h', as Jakub Kicinski suggested, as the skb drop reasons are getting more and more. 2) use auto-generation to generate the source file that convert enum skb_drop_reason to string. 3) make the comment of skb drop reasons kernel-doc style. Changes since v2: 2/3: - add new line in the end of .gitignore - fix awk warning by make '\;' to ';', as ';' is not need to be escaped - export 'drop_reasons' in skbuff.c Changes since v1: 1/3: move dropreason.h from include/linux/ to include/net/ (Jakub Kicinski) 2/3: generate source file instead of header file for drop reasons string array (Jakub Kicinski) 3/3: use inline comment (Jakub Kicinski) Menglong Dong (3): net: skb: move enum skb_drop_reason to standalone header file net: skb: use auto-generation to convert skb drop reason to string net: dropreason: reformat the comment fo skb drop reasons include/linux/skbuff.h | 179 +------------------------- include/net/dropreason.h | 257 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/trace/events/skb.h | 89 +------------ net/core/.gitignore | 1 + net/core/Makefile | 23 +++- net/core/drop_monitor.c | 13 -- net/core/skbuff.c | 3 + 7 files changed, 285 insertions(+), 280 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/net/dropreason.h create mode 100644 net/core/.gitignore -- 2.36.1
