[PATCH net-next] net/sched: Add precise drop reason for pfifo_fast queue overflows

From: fan.yu9
Date: Thu Jul 24 2025 - 09:28:59 EST


From: Fan Yu <fan.yu9@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, packets dropped by pfifo_fast due to queue overflow are
marked with a generic SKB_DROP_REASON_QDISC_DROP in __dev_xmit_skb().

This patch adds explicit drop reason SKB_DROP_REASON_QDISC_OVERLIMIT
for queue-full cases, providing better distinction from other qdisc drops.
