[PATCH] [90/99] net: filter: Use WARN_RATELIMIT

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Wed Jul 27 2011 - 17:49:38 EST


2.6.35-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 6c4a5cb219520c7bc937ee186ca53f03733bd09f ]

A mis-configured filter can spam the logs with lots of stack traces.

Rate-limit the warnings and add printout of the bogus filter information.
