From 44bd70c347c466616e430b044c49d48fac29789d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Galbraith Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2014 13:43:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] drivers/block/loop.c: ratelimit error messages Metric tons of high speed spew is not helpful when things go pear shaped. systemd lost its mind, forgot how to stop services it insists on being sole manager of, massive printk() flood ensued, box eventually died.
