This doesn't generally *help* the condition so this patch ratelimits the rate of their generation. There's an underlying problem in usbnet's kevent deferral mechanism which needs fixing, specifically that events *can* get dropped and not handled. This patch doesn't address this, but just mitigates fallout caused by the current implemention. Signed-off-by: Steve Glendinning Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
