Menglong Dong b384c95a86 net: icmp: add skb drop reasons to icmp protocol
Replace kfree_skb() used in icmp_rcv() and icmpv6_rcv() with
kfree_skb_reason().

In order to get the reasons of the skb drops after icmp message handle,
we change the return type of 'handler()' in 'struct icmp_control' from
'bool' to 'enum skb_drop_reason'. This may change its original
intention, as 'false' means failure, but 'SKB_NOT_DROPPED_YET' means
success now. Therefore, all 'handler' and the call of them need to be
handled. Following 'handler' functions are involved:

icmp_unreach()
icmp_redirect()
icmp_echo()
icmp_timestamp()
icmp_discard()

And following new drop reasons are added:

SKB_DROP_REASON_ICMP_CSUM
SKB_DROP_REASON_INVALID_PROTO

The reason 'INVALID_PROTO' is introduced for the case that the packet
doesn't follow rfc 1122 and is dropped. This is not a common case, and
I believe we can locate the problem from the data in the packet. For now,
this 'INVALID_PROTO' is used for the icmp broadcasts with wrong types.

Maybe there should be a document file for these reasons. For example,
list all the case that causes the 'UNHANDLED_PROTO' and 'INVALID_PROTO'
drop reason. Therefore, users can locate their problems according to the
document.

README

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.
