Merge branch 'drop_monitor-Convert-to-use-devlink-tracepoint'
Ido Schimmel says: ==================== drop_monitor: Convert to use devlink tracepoint Drop monitor is able to monitor both software and hardware originated drops. Software drops are monitored by having drop monitor register its probe on the 'kfree_skb' tracepoint. Hardware originated drops are monitored by having devlink call into drop monitor whenever it receives a dropped packet from the underlying hardware. This patch set converts drop monitor to monitor both software and hardware originated drops in the same way - by registering its probe on the relevant tracepoint. In addition to drop monitor being more consistent, it is now also possible to build drop monitor as module instead of as a builtin and still monitor hardware originated drops. Initially, CONFIG_NET_DEVLINK implied CONFIG_NET_DROP_MONITOR, but after commit def2fbff ("kconfig: allow symbols implied by y to become m") we can have CONFIG_NET_DEVLINK=y and CONFIG_NET_DROP_MONITOR=m and hardware originated drops will not be monitored. Patch set overview: Patch #1 adds a tracepoint in devlink for trap reports. Patch #2 prepares probe functions in drop monitor for the new tracepoint. Patch #3 converts drop monitor to use the new tracepoint. Patches #4-#6 perform cleanups after the conversion. Patch #7 adds a test case for drop monitor. Both software originated drops and hardware originated drops (using netdevsim) are tested.
