Subject: cifs: Ratelimit kernel log messages
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.
