There is currently a gap in drop visibility in the openvswitch module.
This series tries to improve this by adding a new drop reason subsystem
for OVS.

Apart from adding a new drop reasson subsystem and some common drop
reasons, this series takes Eric's preliminary work [1] on adding an
explicit drop action and integrates it into the same subsystem.

This series also adds some selftests and so it requires [2] to be
applied first.

A limitation of this series is that it does not report upcall errors.
The reason is that there could be many sources of upcall drops and the
most common one, which is the netlink buffer overflow, cannot be
reported via kfree_skb() because the skb is freed in the netlink layer
(see [3]). Therefore, using a reason for the rare events and not the
common one would be even more misleading. I'd propose we add (in a
follow up patch) a tracepoint to better report upcall errors.
