[ 07/34] printk_ratelimited(): fix uninitialized spinlock

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Mar 01 2012 - 16:52:23 EST


2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d8521fcc5e0ad3e79bbc4231bb20a6cdc2b50164 upstream.

ratelimit_state initialization of printk_ratelimited() seems broken. This
fixes it by using DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE() to initialize spinlock
properly.
