If you're setting up some kind of CI farm and it's configured to clone from git.kernel.org, STOP. Set up your own damn mirror.

There's not enough RAM in the world to survive 120 shallow clone request for stable.git that all come within 2 seconds of each other, especially when they are all coming from a bunch of AWS IPs. I'm sending abuse reports, so hopefully whoever is doing this will get the message that it's not OK.

@wolf480pl grokmirror will mirror git.kernel.org very efficiently for you (in full or in part).

@tost unfortunately, it's not reasonable to cache git. We're already optimizing things greatly on the backend, but certain git operations will always have a huge CPU or RAM footprint, and it's not reasonable to cache or deny them. :(
