Subject: [PATCH] netlink: downgrade warning about leftover bytes to debug level
Date: Tue, 27 May 2014 15:16:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1401196563-6999-1-git-send-email-mschmidt@redhat.com> (raw)
Any process is able to send netlink messages with leftover bytes, so
downgrade the warning message to pr_debug in order to avoid possible
kernel log spam.
