From fb811395cd5a71b9e94a068f524a6f4a21b67bdb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rick Jones Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2015 11:10:37 -0700 Subject: net: add explicit logging and stat for neighbour table overflow Add an explicit neighbour table overflow message (ratelimited) and statistic to make diagnosing neighbour table overflows tractable in the wild. Diagnosing a neighbour table overflow can be quite difficult in the wild because there is no explicit dmesg logged. Callers to neighbour code seem to use net_dbg_ratelimit when the neighbour call fails which means the "base message" is not emitted and the callback suppressed messages from the ratelimiting can end-up juxtaposed with unrelated messages. Further, a forced garbage collection will increment a stat on each call whether it was successful in freeing-up a table entry or not, so that statistic is only a hint. So, add a net_info_ratelimited message and explicit statistic to the neighbour code. Signed-off-by: Rick Jones Signed-off-by: David S.
