What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: hsr: remove WARN_ONCE() in send_hsr_supervision_frame()

Syzkaller reported [1] hitting a warning after failing to allocate

resources for skb in hsr_init_skb(). Since a WARN_ONCE() call will

not help much in this case, it might be prudent to switch to

netdev_warn_once(). At the very least it will suppress syzkaller

reports such as [1].

Just in case, use netdev_warn_once() in send_prp_supervision_frame()

for similar reasons.
