Create a new drop reason subsystem for openvswitch and add the first drop reason to represent last-action drops. Last-action drops happen when a flow has an empty action list or there is no action that consumes the packet (output, userspace, recirc, etc). It is the most common way in which OVS drops packets. Implementation-wise, most of these skb-consuming actions already call "consume_skb" internally and return directly from within the do_execute_actions() loop so with minimal changes we can assume that any skb that exits the loop normally is a packet drop.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
