3.5.7.12 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me
know.
------------------
From: Ben Greear <gree...@candelatech.com>
commit c846ad9b880ece01bb4d8d07ba917734edf0324f upstream.
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.
