Re:Watch Where the Linux Kernel Drops a Packet by Ao7bei3s on Wednesday May 20, 2020 @01:03PM (#23249202)
dropwatch is great, I've used it to debug why our router firmware drops packets. It has some issues (I really need to verify which are still present and file them) but it works.

You can also achieve mostly the same effect with perf via the skb:kfree_skb tracepoint. This has less performance impact, better post-processing options, and doesn't require the dropwatch specific kernel config option (NET_DROP_MONITOR).
