Subject: [PATCH 08/20] headers: add dropreason-core.h backport for kernels < 5.17
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 15:38:32 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260624073844.2097504-9-cong.yi@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260624073844.2097504-1-cong.yi@linux.dev>
From: Yi Cong <yicong@kylinos.cn>
The skb drop reason infrastructure was introduced in v5.17. Provide
minimal enum skb_drop_reason definitions (SKB_NOT_DROPPED_YET,
SKB_CONSUMED) and SKB_DROP_REASON_SUBSYS_SHIFT/MASK constants so that
mac80211 drop.h compiles on older kernels.
