Any reason why only limit this to TCP? I am pretty sure we are
interested in packet drops across the entire stack.

You can take a look at net/core/drop_monitor.c, it actually has
a big advantage over your solution, which is sending entire
dropped packets to user-space for inspection.

If you can have a solution for all packet drops, not just TCP,
it would make your patch much more useful. Therefore, I'd
suggest you to consider extending the drop monitor.

Thanks.
