Subject: [PATCH net-next 4/5] net: sched: add timeout count to NETDEV WATCHDOG message
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 18:47:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324174719.1224337-6-hawk@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260324174719.1224337-1-hawk@kernel.org>

From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@kernel.org>

Add the per-queue timeout counter (trans_timeout) to the core NETDEV
WATCHDOG log message.  This makes it easy to determine how frequently
a particular queue is stalling from a single log line, without having
to search through and correlate spaced-out log entries.

Useful for production monitoring where timeouts are spaced by the
watchdog interval, making frequency hard to judge.
