From 37252db6aa576c34fd794a5a54fb32d7a8b3a07a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Kosina Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2011 13:10:39 +1030 Subject: [PATCH] kmod: prevent kmod_loop_msg overflow in __request_module() Due to post-increment in condition of kmod_loop_msg in __request_module(), the system log can be spammed by much more than 5 instances of the 'runaway loop' message if the number of events triggering it makes the kmod_loop_msg to overflow. Fix that by making sure we never increment it past the threshold. Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell CC: stable@kernel.org --- Reading git-format-patch failed
