In the case of heavy XDP traffic to be transmitted, the console will print the error log continuously if there are lack of enough BDs to accommodate the frames. The log looks like below. [ 160.013112] fec 30be0000.ethernet eth0: NOT enough BD for SG! [ 160.023116] fec 30be0000.ethernet eth0: NOT enough BD for SG! [ 160.028926] fec 30be0000.ethernet eth0: NOT enough BD for SG! [ 160.038946] fec 30be0000.ethernet eth0: NOT enough BD for SG! [ 160.044758] fec 30be0000.ethernet eth0: NOT enough BD for SG! Not only will this log be replicated and redundant, it will also degrade XDP performance. So we use netdev_err_once() instead of netdev_err() now.

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.
