From 955d3411a17f590364238bd0d3329b61f20c1cd2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Sun, 30 Dec 2018 12:46:01 +0100 Subject: batman-adv: Avoid WARN on net_device without parent in netns It is not allowed to use WARN* helpers on potential incorrect input from the user or transient problems because systems configured as panic_on_warn will reboot due to such a problem. A NULL return value of __dev_get_by_index can be caused by various problems which can either be related to the system configuration or problems (incorrectly returned network namespaces) in other (virtual) net_device drivers. batman-adv should not cause a (harmful) WARN in this situation and instead only report it via a simple message.
