Subject: [PATCH] can: fix WARN_ON dump in net/core/rtnetlink.c:rtmsg_ifinfo()
Date: Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:53:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AF54389.1090309@grandegger.com> (raw)

On older kernels, e.g. 2.6.27, a WARN_ON dump in rtmsg_ifinfo()
is thrown when the CAN device is registered due to insufficient
skb space, as reported by various users. This patch adds the
rtnl_link_ops "get_size" to fix the problem. I think this patch
is required for more recent kernels as well, even if no WARN_ON
dumps are triggered. Maybe we also need "get_xstats_size" for
the CAN xstats.
