Currently, as part of Tx completion, the driver calls dev_kfree_skb_any() to free the SKB. For this flow, the correct function is napi_consume_skb(). This function and dev_consume_skb_any() were added to be used for consumed SKBs, which were not dropped, so the skb:kfree_skb tracepoint is not triggered, and we can get better diagnostics about dropped packets.

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.
