From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 8bf4ada2e21378816b28205427ee6b0e1ca4c5f1 upstream. Kernel generates a lot of warnings when dst entry reference counter overflows and becomes negative. That bug was seen several times at machines with outdated 3.10.y kernels. Most like it's already fixed in upstream. Anyway that flood completely kills machine and makes further debugging impossible.
