3.2.77-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jamie Bainbridge <jamie.bainbridge@xxxxxxxxx> commit ec7147a99e33a9e4abad6fc6e1b40d15df045d53 upstream. Under some conditions, CIFS can repeatedly call the cifs_dbg() logging wrapper. If done rapidly enough, the console framebuffer can softlockup or "rcu_sched self-detected stall". Apply the built-in log ratelimiters to prevent such hangs.
