Subject: [ 37/42] net: rate-limit warn-bad-offload splats.
3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Ben Greear <greearb@...delatech.com>
[ Upstream commit c846ad9b880ece01bb4d8d07ba917734edf0324f ]
If one does do something unfortunate and allow a
bad offload bug into the kernel, this the
skb_warn_bad_offload can effectively live-lock the
system, filling the logs with the same error over
and over.
Add rate limitation to this so that box remains otherwise
functional in this case.
