2.6.22-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Eric Sandeen patch 44ec6f3f89889a469773b1fd894f8fcc07c29cf in mainline This attempts to address CVE-2006-6058 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6058 first reported at http://projects.info-pull.com/mokb/MOKB-17-11-2006.html Essentially a corrupted minix dir inode reporting a very large i_size will loop for a very long time in minix_readdir, minix_find_entry, etc, because on EIO they just move on to try the next page. This is under the BKL, printk-storming as well. This can lock up the machine for a very long time. Simply ratelimiting the printks gets things back under control. Make the message a bit more informative while we're here.
