From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Philipp Kern Subject: [PATCH] net: move "IPv6: sending pkt_too_big to self" to NETDEBUG Date: Sat, 28 Jul 2012 17:06:37 +0200 Message-ID: <1343487997-9047-1-git-send-email-pkern@debian.org> Cc: "David S. Miller" , Alexey Kuznetsov , James Morris , Hideaki YOSHIFUJI , Patrick McHardy , netdev@vger.kernel.org, ak@linux.intel.com, Philipp Kern To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org ip6_xmit checks if the outgoing packet is larger than the path MTU and emits ICMPv6 packet too big locally if this is the case. Logging this, even at KERN_DEBUG, confuses users. It is also not actually helpful for debugging, given that there is no reference to the connection that triggered this event. Hence move this message to LIMIT_NETDEBUG, as suggested by Andi Kleen back in 2001 (<20010215231715.26269@colin.muc.de>).
