Subject: [rpcbind PATCH 1/6] rpcbind: only log failures in check_callit() if connection logging is enabled
Date: Thu,  3 Sep 2026 13:42:40 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903174245.1213147-2-smayhew@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903174245.1213147-1-smayhew@redhat.com>

logit() forks a child process to call syslog().  A client can spam
CALLIT/BROADCAST/INDIRECT requests, leading to CPU, scheduler, and PID
pressure.  It's better to only log failures from check_callit() if
rpcbind is running with the '-l' option (connection logging).
