I'm not against what you did (tracing all the icmp_send() for UDP) in
your original patch. I was suggesting that you could put
trace_icmp_send() in the right place, then you don't have to check the
possible error condition (like if the skb->head is valid or not, ...)
in your trace function.

One example that can avoid various checks existing in the
__icmp_send() function:
diff --git a/net/ipv4/icmp.c b/net/ipv4/icmp.c
index e63a3bf99617..2c9f7364de45 100644
--- a/net/ipv4/icmp.c
+++ b/net/ipv4/icmp.c
@@ -767,6 +767,7 @@ void __icmp_send(struct sk_buff *skb_in, int type,
int code, __be32 info,
if (!fl4.saddr)
fl4.saddr = htonl(INADDR_DUMMY);

+ trace_icmp_send(skb_in, type, code);
icmp_push_reply(sk, &icmp_param, &fl4, &ipc, &rt);
ende:
ip_rt_put(rt);

If we go here, it means we are ready to send the ICMP skb because
we're done extracting the right information in the 'struct sk_buff
skb_in'. Simpler and easier, right?

Thanks,
Jason
