This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: fix __dev_kfree_skb_any() vs drop monitor to the 6.2-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-fix-__dev_kfree_skb_any-vs-drop-monitor.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 43bb144c648fc7af4721a1ef41954f5fc58232d0 Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Feb 23 08:38:45 2023 +0000 net: fix __dev_kfree_skb_any() vs drop monitor [ Upstream commit ac3ad19584b26fae9ac86e4faebe790becc74491 ] dev_kfree_skb() is aliased to consume_skb(). When a driver is dropping a packet by calling dev_kfree_skb_any() we should propagate the drop reason instead of pretending the packet was consumed. Note: Now we have enum skb_drop_reason we could remove enum skb_free_reason (for linux-6.4) v2: added an unlikely(), suggested by Yunsheng Lin.
