Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] net: plumb drop reasons to __dev_queue_xmit()
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 20:18:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312201824.203093-3-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312201824.203093-1-edumazet@google.com>

Add drop reasons to __dev_queue_xmit():

- SKB_DROP_REASON_DEV_READY : device is not UP.

- SKB_DROP_REASON_RECURSION_LIMIT : recursion limit on virtual device is hit.

Also add an unlikely() for the SKB_DROP_REASON_DEV_READY case,
and reduce indentation level.
