I've been messing around with a Raspberry Pi Zero, in its ethernet
gadget mode. This possible bug report is not against the Pi Zero linux
kernel, but rather the host computer's linux kernel. I've been able to
reproduce the same host computer issue with my normal laptop, and an
embedded board (buildroot-based). Both run a newish version of 4.19.
The bug report is that most of the time I cannot ping through the local
link, and I get a kernel debug message: sometimes I can ping the Pi
Zero with no kernel message, most of the time I can't ping and the
message comes up, and occasionally I get the message right when I plug
in the Pi Zero, before I issue the ping command.
Here is the dmesg on my normal laptop (I've included the plug-in
sequence also):
