If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Jan 12 21:37:26 CET 2017 From: Gil Rockah <gilr@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2017 22:33:38 +0200 Subject: net/mlx5e: Remove WARN_ONCE from adaptive moderation code From: Gil Rockah <gilr@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 0bbcc0a8fc394d01988fe0263ccf7fddb77a12c3 ] When trying to do interface down or changing interface configuration under heavy traffic, some of the adaptive moderation corner cases can occur and leave a WARN_ONCE call trace in the kernel log. Those WARN_ONCE are meant for debug only, and should have been inserted only under debug. We avoid such call traces by removing those WARN_ONCE.
