    dropmon: add ability to detect when hardware dropsrxpackets · 4ea7e386

    Patch to add the ability to detect drops in hardware interfaces via dropwatch.
    Adds a tracepoint to net_rx_action to signal everytime a napi instance is
    polled.  The dropmon code then periodically checks to see if the rx_frames
    counter has changed, and if so, adds a drop notification to the netlink
    protocol, using the reserved all-0's vector to indicate the drop location was in
    hardware, rather than somewhere in the code.
