[PATCH 4.4 8/9] af_packet: tone down the Tx-ring unsupported spew.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Sep 13 2019 - 09:09:04 EST


[ Upstream commit 6ae81ced378820c4c6434b1dedba14a7122df310 ]

Trinity and other fuzzers can hit this WARN on far too easily,
resulting in a tainted kernel that hinders automated fuzzing.

Replace it with a rate-limited printk.
