From 88ad4175b201ae24be5e9b7752cf33c1306b64e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Bj=C3=B8rn=20Mork?= Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2015 19:16:40 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net/core: use netdev name in warning if no parent MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A recent flaw in the netdev feature setting resulted in warnings like this one from VLAN interfaces: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 4975 at net/core/dev.c:2419 skb_warn_bad_offload+0xbc/0xcb() : caps=(0x00000000001b5820, 0x00000000001b5829) len=2782 data_len=0 gso_size=1348 gso_type=16 ip_summed=3 The ":" is supposed to be preceded by a driver name, but in this case it is an empty string since the device has no parent. There are many types of network devices without a parent. The anonymous warnings for these devices can be hard to debug. Log the network device name instead in these cases to assist further debugging. This is mostly similar to how __netdev_printk() handles orphan devices.
