Subject: dev_change_name() debug
From: David Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
A debugging patch like this one should help figure out the culprit.
If we don't see the gibberish netdevice name printed in the kernel
logs, then likely something is corrupting the netdevice structure or
the memory holding the name.
