skb does not include enough information to find out receiving sockets/services and netns/containers on packet drops. In theory skb->dev tells about netns, but it can get cleared/reused, e.g. by TCP stack for OOO packet lookup. Similarly, skb->sk often identifies a local sender, and tells nothing about a receiver. Allow passing an extra receiving socket to the tracepoint to improve the visibility on receiving drops.

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 reStructuredText 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.
