2010-05-25ratelimit: add ratelimit_state_init()OGAWA Hirofumi1-1/+12
For now, all users of ratelimit_state allocates it statically, so DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE() is enough. But, I want to use ratelimit_state for fs, i.e. per super_block to suppress too many error reports. So, this adds ratelimit_state_init() to initialize ratelimite_state which is dynamically allocated, instead of opencoding.

2009-10-23ratelimit: Make suppressed output messages more usefulChristian Borntraeger1-1/+2
Today I got: [39648.224782] Registered led device: iwl-phy0::TX [40676.545099] __ratelimit: 246 callbacks suppressed [40676.545103] abcdef[23675]: segfault at 0 ... as you can see the ratelimit message contains a function prefix. Since this is always __ratelimit, this wont help much. This patch changes __ratelimit and printk_ratelimit to print the function name that calls ratelimit. This will pinpoint the responsible function, as long as not several different places call ratelimit with the same ratelimit state at the same time. In that case we catch only one random function that calls ratelimit after the wait period.

2009-09-22ratelimit: Use per ratelimit context lockingIngo Molnar1-10/+20
I'd like to use printk_ratelimit() in atomic context, but that's not possible right now due to the spinlock usage this commit introduced more than a year ago: 717115e: printk ratelimiting rewrite As a first step push the lock into the ratelimit state structure. This allows us to deal with locking failures to be considered as an event related to that state being too busy. Also clean up the code a bit (without changing functionality): - tidy up the definitions - clean up the code flow This also shrinks the code a tiny bit: text data bss dec hex filename 264 0 4 268 10c ratelimit.o.before 255 0 0 255 ff ratelimit.o.after ( Whole-kernel data size got a bit larger, because we have two ratelimit-state data structures right now. ) Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: David S.

2008-11-12remove ratelimt()Andrew Morton1-7/+0
It mistakenly assumes that a static local in an inlined function is a kernel-wide singleton. It also has no callers, so let's remove it. Cc: Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-07-25printk ratelimiting rewriteDave Young1-0/+27
All ratelimit user use same jiffies and burst params, so some messages (callbacks) will be lost. For example: a call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) b call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) before the 5*HZ timeout of a, then b will will be supressed. - rewrite __ratelimit, and use a ratelimit_state as parameter. Thanks for hints from andrew. - Add WARN_ON_RATELIMIT, update rcupreempt.h - remove __printk_ratelimit - use __ratelimit in net_ratelimit Signed-off-by: Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> Cc: "David S.
