From f53b6dda4d9b6e4ba1af5efd6c6650784996b4e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022 15:43:25 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] panic: Introduce warn_limit commit 9fc9e278a5c0b708eeffaf47d6eb0c82aa74ed78 upstream. Like oops_limit, add warn_limit for limiting the number of warnings when panic_on_warn is not set. Cc: Jonathan Corbet Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Baolin Wang Cc: "Jason A.
