| Subject: netlink: rate-limit leftover bytes warning and print process name |
| |
| From: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> |
| |
| [ Upstream commit bfc5184b69cf9eeb286137640351c650c27f118a ] |
| |
| Any process is able to send netlink messages with leftover bytes. |
| Make the warning rate-limited to prevent too much log spam. |
| |
| The warning is supposed to help find userspace bugs, so print the |
| triggering command name to implicate the buggy program. |
| |
| [v2: Use pr_warn_ratelimited instead of printk_ratelimited.] |
