As Eric reported, the 'reason' field is not presented when trace the
kfree_skb event by perf:

$ perf record -e skb:kfree_skb -a sleep 10
$ perf script
  ip_defrag 14605 [021]   221.614303:   skb:kfree_skb:
  skbaddr=0xffff9d2851242700 protocol=34525 location=0xffffffffa39346b1
  reason:

The cause seems to be passing kernel address directly to TP_printk(),
which is not right. As the enum 'skb_drop_reason' is not exported to
user space through TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), perf can't get the drop reason
string from the 'reason' field, which is a number.

Therefore, we introduce the macro DEFINE_DROP_REASON(), which is used
to define the trace enum by TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(). With the help of
DEFINE_DROP_REASON(), now we can remove the auto-generate that we
introduced in the commit ec43908dd556
("net: skb: use auto-generation to convert skb drop reason to string"),
and define the string array 'drop_reasons'.

Hmmmm...now we come back to the situation that have to maintain drop
reasons in both enum skb_drop_reason and DEFINE_DROP_REASON. But they
are both in dropreason.h, which makes it easier.

After this commit, now the format of kfree_skb is like this:

$ cat /tracing/events/skb/kfree_skb/format
name: kfree_skb
ID: 1524
format:
        field:unsigned short common_type;       offset:0;       size:2; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_flags;       offset:2;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;       offset:3;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:int common_pid;   offset:4;       size:4; signed:1;

        field:void * skbaddr;   offset:8;       size:8; signed:0;
        field:void * location;  offset:16;      size:8; signed:0;
        field:unsigned short protocol;  offset:24;      size:2; signed:0;
        field:enum skb_drop_reason reason;      offset:28;      size:4; signed:0;

print fmt: "skbaddr=%p protocol=%u location=%p reason: %s", REC->skbaddr, REC->protocol, REC->location, __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { 1, "NOT_SPECIFIED" }, { 2, "NO_SOCKET" } ......

Note that I also provided the sha1 of the faulty patch.

You should add a corresponding Fixes: tag, to help both humans and bots.

This would also hint that this patch should target net tree, not net-next ?

Okay, I'll add the Fixes tag......and  the Link tag.

It seems that the net tree is more suitable. I'll change it.

Hi, Steven! Do you have any feedback? Yes, I add the
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() back! (Hmm...I deleted it before,
without knowing its function :/ )

Thanks!

The undef should be fine. I usually do not, but that's more of a preference
than a rule.

As long as the undef is done after the C portion of where the macro is used:

+DEFINE_DROP_REASON(FN, FN) <<<--- C portion

I tried a more recent perf binary we have, but it is also not right.

I guess I will have to request a new perf binary at Google :/
