[added to the 3.18 stable tree] cifs: Ratelimit kernel log messages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jamie Bainbridge <jamie.bainbridge@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit ec7147a99e33a9e4abad6fc6e1b40d15df045d53 ]

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.
