X-Git-Tag: v2.6.35-rc1~473^2~22
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b60b6592baa69c43a5a0f55d6300a7feaab15338;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-3.10.git

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.
