Eric Garver e7bc7db9ba net: openvswitch: add explicit drop action
From: Eric Garver <eric@garver.life>

This adds an explicit drop action. This is used by OVS to drop packets
for which it cannot determine what to do. An explicit action in the
kernel allows passing the reason _why_ the packet is being dropped or
zero to indicate no particular error happened (i.e: OVS intentionally
dropped the packet).

Since the error codes coming from userspace mean nothing for the kernel,
we squash all of them into only two drop reasons:
- OVS_DROP_EXPLICIT_WITH_ERROR to indicate a non-zero value was passed
- OVS_DROP_EXPLICIT to indicate a zero value was passed (no error)

e.g. trace all OVS dropped skbs

 # perf trace -e skb:kfree_skb --filter="reason >= 0x30000"
 [..]
 106.023 ping/2465 skb:kfree_skb(skbaddr: 0xffffa0e8765f2000, \
  location:0xffffffffc0d9b462, protocol: 2048, reason: 196611)

reason: 196611 --> 0x30003 (OVS_DROP_EXPLICIT)

Also, this patch allows ovs-dpctl.py to add explicit drop actions as:
  "drop"     -> implicit empty-action drop
  "drop(0)"  -> explicit non-error action drop
  "drop(42)" -> explicit error action 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.
