Subject: printk_ratelimited() not compiling

Hey Joe, 
	So I thought printk_ratelimited would be perfect for an issue I'm
having, but when I tried using it, replacing a printk I had, I got the
following:

fs/namei.c:1075: error: variable ‘_rs’ has initializer but incomplete type
fs/namei.c:1075: error: unknown field ‘interval’ specified in initializer
fs/namei.c:1075: warning: excess elements in struct initializer
fs/namei.c:1075: warning: (near initialization for ‘_rs’)
fs/namei.c:1075: error: unknown field ‘burst’ specified in initializer
fs/namei.c:1075: warning: excess elements in struct initializer
fs/namei.c:1075: warning: (near initialization for ‘_rs’)
fs/namei.c:1075: error: storage size of ‘_rs’ isn’t known
fs/namei.c:1075: warning: unused variable ‘_rs’


Thinking the issue was ratelimit.h wasn't included I tried that, but
got:

 file included from include/linux/spinlock_types.h:18,
                 from include/linux/ratelimit.h:5,

Yuck.

Am I missing something obvious, or did something get broken after this went in?

thanks
-john
