From b60b6592baa69c43a5a0f55d6300a7feaab15338 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger Date: Tue, 11 May 2010 14:24:12 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net sched: cleanup and rate limit warning If the user has a bad classification configuration, and gets a packet that goes through too many steps. Chances are more packets will arrive, and the message spew will overrun syslog because it is not rate limited. And because it is not tagged with appropriate priority it can't not be screened. Added the qdisc to the message to try and give some more context when the message does arrive. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Acked-by: Jamal Hadi Salim Signed-off-by: David S.
