Subject: [PATCH] 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.
