Subject: af_packet: tone down the Tx-ring unsupported spew.
Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2016 15:11:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160404191150.GA7224@codemonkey.org.uk> (raw)

Trinity and other fuzzers can hit this WARN on far too easily,
resulting in a tainted kernel that hinders automated fuzzing.

Replace it with a rate-limited printk.
