From 8bf4ada2e21378816b28205427ee6b0e1ca4c5f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konstantin Khlebnikov Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2015 14:01:11 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] net: ratelimit warnings about dst entry refcount underflow or overflow Kernel generates a lot of warnings when dst entry reference counter overflows and becomes negative. That bug was seen several times at machines with outdated 3.10.y kernels. Most like it's already fixed in upstream. Anyway that flood completely kills machine and makes further debugging impossible.
