From c6f854d57d704a97adbf952ef0948acc68f3312c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Veaceslav Falico Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2014 19:46:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: use dev->name in netdev_pr* when it's available netdev_name() returns dev->name only when the net_device is in NETREG_REGISTERED state. However, dev->name is always populated on creation, so we can easily use it. There are two cases when there's no real name - when it's an empty string or when the name is in form of "eth%d", then netdev_name() returns "unnamed net_device". CC: "David S.
