[PATCH 3.2 50/87] cifs: Ratelimit kernel log messages

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Feb 08 2016 - 19:04:19 EST


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.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
- cifs_dbg() and cifs_vfs_err() do not exist, but make similar changes
to cifsfyi(), cifswarn() and cifserror()]
- Include <linux/ratelimit.h> explicitly]
