Impact

When [mlir::tfg::GraphDefImporter::ConvertNodeDef](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/core/ir/importexport/graphdef_import.cc) tries to convert NodeDefs without an op name, it crashes.

```cpp

Status GraphDefImporter::ConvertNodeDef(OpBuilder &builder, ConversionState &s,

const NodeDef &node) {

VLOG(4) << "Importing: " << node.name();

OperationState state(ConvertLocation(node), absl::StrCat("tfg.", node.op()));

// The GraphImporter does light shape inference, but here we will defer all of

// that to the shape inference pass.

const OpDef *op_def;

const OpRegistrationData *op_reg_data = nullptr;

if ((op_reg_data = registry_.LookUp(node.op()))) {

op_def = &op_reg_data->op_def;

} else {

auto it = function_op_defs_.find(node.op());

if (it == function_op_defs_.end())

return InvalidArgument("Unable to find OpDef for ", node.op());

op_def = it->second;

}

`

node.op().empty() cannot be empty.

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit [a0f0b9a21c9270930457095092f558fbad4c03e5](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commit/a0f0b9a21c9270930457095092f558fbad4c03e5).

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.10.0. We will also cherrypick this commit on TensorFlow 2.9.1, TensorFlow 2.8.1, and TensorFlow 2.7.2, as these are also affected and still in...
