Bug#590653: "lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions" in kernel log every couple of seconds

07-28-2010, 06:19 AM

Package: linux-image-2.6-686
Version: 2.6.32+27
Severity: minor

The system is a KVM guest (host is squeeze, qemu-kvm version 0.12.4+dfsg-1, kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64). /var/log/syslog looks like this:

Jul 28 08:03:35 brakiri kernel: [606636.002265] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
Jul 28 08:03:35 brakiri kernel: [606636.298208] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
Jul 28 08:03:37 brakiri kernel: [606637.828089] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions

Jul 28 08:03:39 brakiri kernel: [606639.757784] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions

Jul 28 08:04:08 brakiri kernel: [606668.377440] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
Jul 28 08:04:27 brakiri kernel: [606687.857553] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
Jul 28 08:04:27 brakiri kernel: [606688.153738] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
Jul 28 08:04:56 brakiri kernel: [606717.187811] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
Jul 28 08:04:57 brakiri kernel: [606717.486261] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions

How do I get rid of these messages? Other than this, the system seems to be running fine.
