From ba559a578e7f7b4c095a2589208c3e7ae5cd0e1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Born Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2017 00:36:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bonding: ratelimit failed speed/duplex update warning [ Upstream commit 11e9d7829dd08dbafb24517fe922f11c3a8a9dc2 ] bond_miimon_commit() handles the UP transition for each slave of a bond in the case of MII. It is triggered 10 times per second for the default MII Polling interval of 100ms. For device drivers that do not implement __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() the call to bond_update_speed_duplex() fails persistently while the MII status could remain UP. That is, in this and other cases where the speed/duplex update keeps failing over a longer period of time while the MII state is UP, a warning is printed every MII polling interval. To address these excessive warnings net_ratelimit() should be used. Printing a warning once would not be sufficient since the call to bond_update_speed_duplex() could recover to succeed and fail again later. In that case there would be no new indication what went wrong. Fixes: b5bf0f5b16b9c (bonding: correctly update link status during mii-commit phase) Signed-off-by: Andreas Born Signed-off-by: David S.
