[PATCH net-next 0/3] net: use IP_OUTNOROUTES drop reason

[Eric Dumazet]

First patch changes sk_skb_reason_drop() sock to be const.

Second and last patch add SKB_DROP_REASON_IP_OUTNOROUTES
to both tcp_v6_send_response() and inet6_csk_xmit().

Eric Dumazet (3):
  net: constify sk_skb_reason_drop() sock parameter
  tcp: use SKB_DROP_REASON_IP_OUTNOROUTES in tcp_v6_send_response()
  ipv6: use SKB_DROP_REASON_IP_OUTNOROUTES in inet6_csk_xmit()

[PATCH net-next 1/3] net: constify sk_skb_reason_drop() sock parameter

[Eric Dumazet]

sk_skb_reason_drop() does not change sock parameter, make it
const so that we can call it from TCP stack without a cast
on a (const) listener socket.

build says drop_monitor registers for this tracepoint from within 
the kernel, and needs adjusting.
