From 85c6932ef0c7a82c309f8728ddf29768001d794e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Staubach Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006 23:04:02 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] nfsservctl(): remove user-triggerable printk A user can use nfsservctl() to spam the logs. This can happen because the arguments to the nfsservctl() system call are versioned. This is a good thing. However, when a bad version is detected, the kernel prints a message and then returns an error.
