====================
tun/tap: use kfree_skb_reason() to trace dropped skb

The commit c504e5c2f9 ("net: skb: introduce kfree_skb_reason()") has
introduced the kfree_skb_reason() to help track the reason.

The tun and tap are commonly used as virtio-net/vhost-net backend. This is to
use kfree_skb_reason() to trace the dropped skb for those two drivers.

Changed since v1:
- I have renamed many of the reasons since v1. I make them as generic as
  possible so that they can be re-used by core networking and drivers.

Changed since v2:
- declare drop_reason as type "enum skb_drop_reason"
- handle the drop in skb_list_walk_safe() case for tap driver, and
  kfree_skb_list_reason() is introduced

Changed since v3 (only for PATCH 4/4):
- rename to TAP_FILTER and TAP_TXFILTER
- honor reverse xmas tree style declaration for 'drop_reason' in
  tun_net_xmit()

Changed since v4:
- make kfree_skb_list() static inline
- add 'computation' to SKB_CSUM comment
- change COPY_DATA to UCOPY_FAULT
- add 'metadata' to DEV_HDR comment
- expand comment on DEV_READY
- change SKB_TRIM to NOMEM
- chnage SKB_PULL to HDR_TRUNC
Changed since v5:
- rebase to net-next

The following reasons are introduced.

- SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_CSUM
- SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_GSO_SEG
- SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_UCOPY_FAULT
- SKB_DROP_REASON_DEV_HDR
- SKB_DROP_REASON_FULL_RING
- SKB_DROP_REASON_DEV_READY
- SKB_DROP_REASON_NOMEM
- SKB_DROP_REASON_HDR_TRUNC
- SKB_DROP_REASON_TAP_FILTER
- SKB_DROP_REASON_TAP_TXFILTER

This is the output for TUN device.

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.
