[PATCH 4.4 72/73] KVM: x86: degrade WARN to pr_warn_ratelimited

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jul 08 2019 - 11:18:09 EST


From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3f16a5c318392cbb5a0c7a3d19dff8c8ef3c38ee upstream.

This warning can be triggered easily by userspace, so it should certainly not
cause a panic if panic_on_warn is set.
