Replace kfree_skb() used in icmp_rcv() and icmpv6_rcv() with kfree_skb_reason(). In order to get the reasons of the skb drops after icmp message handle, we change the return type of 'handler()' in 'struct icmp_control' from 'bool' to 'enum skb_drop_reason'. This may change its original intention, as 'false' means failure, but 'SKB_NOT_DROPPED_YET' means success now. Therefore, all 'handler' and the call of them need to be handled. Following 'handler' functions are involved: icmp_unreach() icmp_redirect() icmp_echo() icmp_timestamp() icmp_discard() And following new drop reasons are added: SKB_DROP_REASON_ICMP_CSUM SKB_DROP_REASON_INVALID_PROTO The reason 'INVALID_PROTO' is introduced for the case that the packet doesn't follow rfc 1122 and is dropped. This is not a common case, and I believe we can locate the problem from the data in the packet. For now, this 'INVALID_PROTO' is used for the icmp broadcasts with wrong types. Maybe there should be a document file for these reasons. For example, list all the case that causes the 'UNHANDLED_PROTO' and 'INVALID_PROTO' drop reason. Therefore, users can locate their problems according to the document.

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.
