Subject: [PATCH net-next] gre: Count GRE packet drops
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 12:09:45 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409090945.1542440-1-gal@nvidia.com> (raw)
GRE is silently dropping packets without updating statistics.
In case of drop, increment rx_dropped counter to provide visibility into
packet loss. For the case where no GRE protocol handler is registered,
use rx_nohandler.
