net: sched: Add initial TC error skb drop reasons

2026-08-23T12:20:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4cf24dc8934074725042c0bd10b91f4d4b5269bb ] Continue expanding Daniel's patch by adding new skb drop reasons that are idiosyncratic to TC. More specifically: - SKB_DROP_REASON_TC_COOKIE_ERROR: An error occurred whilst processing a tc ext cookie. - SKB_DROP_REASON_TC_CHAIN_NOTFOUND: tc chain lookup failed. - SKB_DROP_REASON_TC_RECLASSIFY_LOOP: tc exceeded max reclassify loop iterations Signed-off-by: Victor Nogueira Reviewed-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: David S.

packet: add a generic drop reason for receive

2026-08-23T12:20:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2f57dd94bdef083855366138646b26b05f410d99 ] Commit da37845fdce2 ("packet: uses kfree_skb() for errors.") switches from consume_skb to kfree_skb to improve error handling. However, this could bring a lot of noises when we monitor real packet drops in kfree_skb[1], because in tpacket_rcv or packet_rcv only packet clones can be freed, not actual packets. Adding a generic drop reason to allow distinguish these "clone drops".

net, sched: Add tcf_set_drop_reason for {__,}tcf_classify

2026-08-23T12:20:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit 39d08b91646d83e87f7cbcd846b3ef33b1a53b79 ] Add an initial user for the newly added tcf_set_drop_reason() helper to set the drop reason for internal errors leading to TC_ACT_SHOT inside {__,}tcf_classify(). Right now this only adds a very basic SKB_DROP_REASON_TC_ERROR as a generic fallback indicator to mark drop locations. Where needed, such locations can be converted to more specific codes, for example, when hitting the reclassification limit, etc. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Cc: Jamal Hadi Salim Cc: Victor Nogueira Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231009092655.22025-2-daniel@iogearbox.net Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Stable-dep-of: f60b396ee174 ("net/sched: act_api: fix TOCTOU NULL deref on a->goto_chain") Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

net: add skb_queue_purge_reason and __skb_queue_purge_reason

2023-08-19T14:30:15+00:00

skb_queue_purge() and __skb_queue_purge() become wrappers around the new generic functions. New SKB_DROP_REASON_QUEUE_PURGE drop reason is added, but users can start adding more specific reasons. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Reviewed-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

tcp: add TCP_OLD_SEQUENCE drop reason

2023-07-20T10:49:40+00:00

tcp_sequence() uses two conditions to decide to drop a packet, and we currently report generic TCP_INVALID_SEQUENCE drop reason. Duplicates are common, we need to distinguish them from the other case. I chose to not reuse TCP_OLD_DATA, and instead added TCP_OLD_SEQUENCE drop reason.

net: extend drop reasons for multiple subsystems

2023-04-21T03:20:49+00:00

Extend drop reasons to make them usable by subsystems other than core by reserving the high 16 bits for a new subsystem ID, of which 0 of course is used for the existing reasons immediately. To still be able to have string reasons, restructure that code a bit to make the loopup under RCU, the only user of this (right now) is drop_monitor.

net: move dropreason.h to dropreason-core.h

2023-04-21T03:20:49+00:00

This will, after the next patch, hold only the core drop reasons and minimal infrastructure. Fix a small kernel-doc issue while at it, to avoid the move triggering a checker. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski
