From f5dd377733f2e187f42071496582b846eae20809 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Fri, 2 May 2008 16:21:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to the transmit timeout function WARN_ON_ONCE() gives a stack trace including the full module list. Having this in the kernel dump for the timeout case in the generic netdev watchdog will help us see quicker which driver is involved. It also allows us to collect statistics and patterns in terms of which drivers have this event occuring. Suggested by Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: David S.
