[PATCH v2] net:tun: limit printing rate when illegal packet received by tun dev

From: Lei Chen
Date: Wed Apr 10 2024 - 00:23:09 EST


vhost_worker will call tun call backs to receive packets. If too many
illegal packets arrives, tun_do_read will keep dumping packet contents.
When console is enabled, it will costs much more cpu time to dump
packet and soft lockup will be detected.

net_ratelimit mechanism can be used to limit the dumping rate.

Changes from v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240409062407.1952728-1-lei.chen@xxxxxxxxxx/
1. Use net_ratelimit instead of raw __ratelimit.
2. Use netdev_err instead of pr_err to print more info abort net dev.
3. Adjust git commit message to make git am happy.
