pktgen: Fix device name compares
Commit e6fce5b916cd7f7f7 (pktgen: multiqueue etc.) tried to relax the pktgen restriction of one device per kernel thread, adding a '@' tag to device names. Problem is we dont perform check on full pktgen device name. This allows adding many time same 'device' to pktgen thread pgset "add_device eth0@0" one session later : pgset "add_device eth0@0" (This doesnt find previous device) This consumes ~1.5 MBytes of vmalloc memory per round and also triggers this warning : [ 673.186380] proc_dir_entry 'pktgen/eth0@0' already registered [ 673.186383] Modules linked in: pktgen ixgbe ehci_hcd psmouse mdio mousedev evdev [last unloaded: pktgen] [ 673.186406] Pid: 6219, comm: bash Tainted: G W 2.6.32-rc7-03302-g41cec6f-dirty #16 [ 673.186410] Call Trace: [ 673.186417] [<ffffffff8104a29b>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7b/0xc0 [ 673.186422] [<ffffffff8104a341>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x41/0x50 [ 673.186426] [<ffffffff8114e789>] proc_register+0x109/0x210 [ 673.186433] [<ffffffff8100bf2e>] ? apic_timer_interrupt+0xe/0x20 [ 673.186438] [<ffffffff8114e905>] proc_create_data+0x75/0xd0 [ 673.186444] [<ffffffffa006ad38>] pktgen_thread_write+0x568/0x640 [pktgen] [ 673.186449] [<ffffffffa006a7d0>] ? pktgen_thread_write+0x0/0x640 [pktgen] [ 673.186453] [<ffffffff81149144>] proc_reg_write+0x84/0xc0 [ 673.186458] [<ffffffff810f5a58>] vfs_write+0xb8/0x180 [ 673.186463] [<ffffffff810f5c11>] sys_write+0x51/0x90 [ 673.186468] [<ffffffff8100b51b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [ 673.186470] ---[ end trace ccbb991b0a8d994d ]--- Solution to this problem is to use a odevname field (includes @ tag and suffix), instead of using netdevice name.
