[Where problem could occur] The fix first checks for /sys/class/devlink before adding the devlink commands to the networking plugin. If this path changes in future kernels, or it becomes possible to collect devlink information without this path being present, we'll miss that information in sosreports. It's also possible that in future kernels, additional modules get loaded due to the devlink commands, so we should also be on the lookout for those changing the system state between sos executions. The above are very unlikely scenarios in any case, and we should get previous notice of such changes. The patchset will also be tested with the now fixed autopkgtests, and that should give a bit more confidence in the fixes.
