[RFC v3 net-next 2/7] net: introduce sk_skb_reason_drop function

From: Yan Zhai
Date: Tue Jun 04 2024 - 17:48:25 EST


Long used destructors kfree_skb and kfree_skb_reason do not pass
receiving socket to packet drop tracepoints trace_kfree_skb.
This makes it hard to track packet drops of a certain netns (container)
or a socket (user application).

The naming of these destructors are also not consistent with most sk/skb
operating functions, i.e. functions named "sk_xxx" or "skb_xxx".
Introduce a new functions sk_skb_reason_drop as drop-in replacement for
kfree_skb_reason on local receiving path. Callers can now pass receiving
sockets to the tracepoints.

kfree_skb and kfree_skb_reason are still usable but they are now just
inline helpers that call sk_skb_reason_drop.

Note it is not feasible to do the same to consume_skb. Packets not
dropped can flow through multiple receive handlers, and have multiple
receiving sockets. Leave it untouched for now.
