Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 4/8] ip_gre: add drop reasons to the RX path
Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2026 06:49:33 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260913034937.875068-5-littlesmilingcloud@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260913034937.875068-1-littlesmilingcloud@gmail.com>

A packet that reaches gre_rcv() and does not belong to any tunnel is
dropped, after an ICMP port unreachable is sent back, with a plain
kfree_skb().  This is the GRE counterpart of a UDP packet hitting no
socket, and by far the most common way a GRE packet is dropped on
receive, yet nothing tells it apart from a malformed one.

Add SKB_DROP_REASON_GRE_TUNNEL_NOT_FOUND for it, in the spirit of the
existing SKB_DROP_REASON_VXLAN_VNI_NOT_FOUND, and report it from
erspan_rcv() and __ipgre_rcv() through a new output parameter, so that a
failed lookup is not reported the same way as a header that could not be
pulled or as a metadata allocation failure.

The header pull failures reuse SKB_DROP_REASON_HDR_TRUNC and the
metadata allocation failures reuse SKB_DROP_REASON_NOMEM.
