Chrome OS also can't support RTL8156 until this is fixed. Every kernel version Chrome OS uses spams /var/log/syslog with ~30 messages/second (~200MB/day or ~1GB/week). We can not use the Realtek "proprietary" (though open source) driver.
Realtek needs to look at this and I've contacted Realtek directly about this. I can't determine what is triggering the repeated link status messages from USB CDC specs. From what I understand in the spec, USB_CDC_NOTIFY_SPEED_CHANGE and USB_CDC_NOTIFY_NETWORK_CONNECTION (in that order) messages should only be sent once after device is enumerated and again when link state actually changes. This is in fact how cdc_ether devices behave using the same messages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1832472 Title: cdc_ncm floods syslog unneccessarily To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1832472/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
