The TAP can be used as vhost-net backend. E.g., the tap_handle_frame() is the interface to forward the skb from TAP to vhost-net/virtio-net. However, there are many "goto drop" in the TAP driver. Therefore, the kfree_skb_reason() is involved at each "goto drop" to help userspace ftrace/ebpf to track the reason for the loss of packets. The below reasons are introduced: - SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_CSUM - SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_GSO_SEG - SKB_DROP_REASON_SKB_UCOPY_FAULT - SKB_DROP_REASON_DEV_HDR - SKB_DROP_REASON_FULL_RING Cc: Joao Martins <joao.m.martins@oracle.com> Cc: Joe Jin <joe.jin@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Dongli Zhang <dongli.zhang@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
