From 4da46cebbd3b4dc445195a9672c99c1353af5695 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Conole Date: Sat, 2 Apr 2016 15:26:43 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] net/core/dev: Warn on a too-short GRO frame When signaling that a GRO frame is ready to be processed, the network stack correctly checks length and aborts processing when a frame is less than 14 bytes. However, such a condition is really indicative of a broken driver, and should be loudly signaled, rather than silently dropped as the case is today. Convert the condition to use net_warn_ratelimited() to ensure the stack loudly complains about such broken drivers. Signed-off-by: Aaron Conole Signed-off-by: David S.
