net: add explicit logging and stat for neighbour table overflow
Add an explicit neighbour table overflow message (ratelimited) and statistic to make diagnosing neighbour table overflows tractable in the wild. Diagnosing a neighbour table overflow can be quite difficult in the wild because there is no explicit dmesg logged. Callers to neighbour code seem to use net_dbg_ratelimit when the neighbour call fails which means the "base message" is not emitted and the callback suppressed messages from the ratelimiting can end-up juxtaposed with unrelated messages. Further, a forced garbage collection will increment a stat on each call whether it was successful in freeing-up a table entry or not, so that statistic is only a hint. So, add a net_info_ratelimited message and explicit statistic to the neighbour code. Signed-off-by: Rick Jones <rick.jones2@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
