Merge branch 'inet-add-drop-monitor-support'
Eric Dumazet says: ==================== inet: add drop monitor support I recently tried to analyse flakes in ip_defrag selftest. This failed miserably. IPv4 and IPv6 reassembly units are causing false kfree_skb() notifications. It is time to deal with this issue. First two patches are changing core networking to better deal with eventual skb frag_list chains, in respect of kfree_skb/consume_skb status. Last three patches are adding three new drop reasons, and make sure skbs that have been reassembled into a large datagram are no longer viewed as dropped ones. After this, understanding why ip_defrag selftest is flaky is possible using standard drop monitoring tools. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221029154520.2747444-1-edumazet@google.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
