From baf4d7860771287f30fbe9b6b2dc18b04361439d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Benc Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2017 21:24:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] vxlan: do not output confusing error message The message "Cannot bind port X, err=Y" creates only confusion. In metadata based mode, failure of IPv6 socket creation is okay if IPv6 is disabled and no error message should be printed. But when IPv6 tunnel was requested, such failure is fatal. The vxlan_socket_create does not know when the error is harmless and when it's not. Instead of passing such information down to vxlan_socket_create, remove the message completely. It's not useful. We propagate the error code up to the user space and the port number comes from the user space. There's nothing in the message that the process creating vxlan interface does not know.
