[PATCH 3.12 054/119] net: ratelimit warnings about dst entry refcount underflow or overflow

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

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machines with outdated 3.10.y kernels.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.
