[PATCH v3 0/2] sctp: Consolidate and ratelimit deprecation warnings

From: Neil Horman
Date: Tue Dec 17 2013 - 11:20:27 EST


The SCTP protocol has several deprecation warnings in its setsockopt path that
can be triggered by unprivlidged users. Since these are not ratelimited, we can
spam the logs quite easily here. Since these are all deprecation warnings, and
that type of warning isn't uncommon in the rest of the kernel, lets make a
common pr_warn_deprecated macro to produce somewhat generalized ratelimited
deprecation warnings easily
