[ Upstream commit e316dd1cf1358ff9c44b37c7be273a7dc4349986 ] The top syzbot report for networking (#14 for the entire kernel) is the queue timeout splat. We kept it around for a long time, because in real life it provides pretty strong signal that something is wrong with the driver or the device. Removing it is also likely to break monitoring for those who track it as a kernel warning. Nevertheless, WARN()ings are best suited for catching kernel programming bugs. If a Tx queue gets starved due to a pause storm, priority configuration, or other weirdness - that's obviously a problem, but not a problem we can fix at the kernel level. Bite the bullet and convert the WARN() to a print. Before: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eni1np1 (netdevsim): transmit queue 0 timed out 1975 ms WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at net/sched/sch_generic.c:525 dev_watchdog+0x39e/0x3b0 [... completely pointless stack trace of a timer follows ...] Now: netdevsim netdevsim1 eni1np1: NETDEV WATCHDOG: CPU: 0: transmit queue 0 timed out 1769 ms Alternatively we could mark the drivers which syzbot has learned to abuse as "print-instead-of-WARN" selectively.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
