Menglong Dong says: ==================== net: use kfree_skb_reason() for ip/neighbour In the series "net: use kfree_skb_reason() for ip/udp packet receive", reasons for skb drops are added to the packet receive process of IP layer. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20220205074739.543606-1-imagedong@tencent.com/ And in the first patch of this series, skb drop reasons are added to the packet egress path of IP layer. As kfree_skb() is not used frequent, I commit these changes at once and didn't create a patch for every functions that involed. Following functions are handled: __ip_queue_xmit() ip_finish_output() ip_mc_finish_output() ip6_output() ip6_finish_output() ip6_finish_output2() Following new drop reasons are introduced (what they mean can be seen in the document of them): SKB_DROP_REASON_IP_OUTNOROUTES SKB_DROP_REASON_BPF_CGROUP_EGRESS SKB_DROP_REASON_IPV6DISABLED SKB_DROP_REASON_NEIGH_CREATEFAIL In the 2th and 3th patches, kfree_skb_reason() is used in neighbour subsystem instead of kfree_skb(). __neigh_event_send() and arp_error_report() are involed, and following new drop reasons are introduced: SKB_DROP_REASON_NEIGH_FAILED SKB_DROP_REASON_NEIGH_QUEUEFULL SKB_DROP_REASON_NEIGH_DEAD Changes since v2: - fix typo in the 1th patch of 'SKB_DROP_REASON_IPV6DSIABLED' reported by Roman Changes since v1: - introduce SKB_DROP_REASON_NEIGH_CREATEFAIL for some path in the 1th patch - introduce SKB_DROP_REASON_NEIGH_DEAD in the 2th patch - simplify the document for the new drop reasons, as David Ahern suggested ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
