[PATCH 4.4 051/137] cifs: Ratelimit kernel log messages

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2016-02-24 04:14:31
Also in: lkml

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

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

From: Jamie Bainbridge <redacted>

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.
