Subject: [NET]: Add CONFIG_NETDEBUG to suppress bad packet messages.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0dec456d1fe73e0539625f0973ee8ef8fb805943;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[NET]: Add CONFIG_NETDEBUG to suppress bad packet messages.

If you are on a hostile network, or are running protocol tests, you can
easily get the logged swamped by messages about bad UDP and ICMP packets.
This turns those messages off unless a config option is enabled.
