Fix is below. We've had problems with ratelimit uses in the past as well. There's a logical separation issue with the #includes of bug.h, printk.h, ratelimit.h kernel.h and the spinlock includes. My suggestion would be to see about again adding #include <linux/ratelimit.h> somehow back to kernel.h which commit 3fff4c42bd0a removed in 2009 because of the spinlock issues. Any suggestion on how best to fix it generically? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
