Subject[patch 1/3] minixfs: limit minixfs printks on corrupted dir i_size (CVE-2006-6058)
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>

patch f44ec6f3f89889a469773b1fd894f8fcc07c29cf upstream.

This attempts to address CVE-2006-6058
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6058

first reported at http://projects.info-pull.com/mokb/MOKB-17-11-2006.html

Essentially a corrupted minix dir inode reporting a very large
i_size will loop for a very long time in minix_readdir, minix_find_entry,
etc, because on EIO they just move on to try the next page. This is
under the BKL, printk-storming as well. This can lock up the machine
for a very long time. Simply ratelimiting the printks gets things back
under control. Make the message a bit more informative while we're here.
