[RFC PATCH v2 4/5] skb: add tracepoints to freeing skb

From: Koki Sanagi
Date: Thu Jun 24 2010 - 20:59:04 EST


This patch adds tracepoint to consume_skb and dev_kfree_skb_irq.
Combinating with tracepoint on dev_hard_start_xmit, we can check how long it
takes to free transmited packets. And using it, we can calculate how many
packets driver had at that time. It is useful when a drop of transmited packet
is a problem.

<idle>-0 [001] 241409.218333: consume_skb: skbaddr=dd6b2fb8
<idle>-0 [001] 241409.490555: dev_kfree_skb_irq: skbaddr=f5e29840
