[RFC v2 net-next 1/7] net: add rx_sk to trace_kfree_skb

From: Yan Zhai
Date: Fri May 31 2024 - 21:43:17 EST


skb does not include enough information to find out receiving
sockets/services and netns/containers on packet drops. In theory
skb->dev tells about netns, but it can get cleared/reused, e.g. by TCP
stack for OOO packet lookup. Similarly, skb->sk often identifies a local
sender, and tells nothing about a receiver.

Allow passing an extra receiving socket to the tracepoint to improve
the visibility on receiving drops.
