Subject: [PATCH] mei_me: Ratelimit several error messages
Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2013 13:53:17 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1387767158-sup-501@delenn.ozlabs.ibm.com> (raw)

I'm unsure of the cause, but I found irq/40-mei_me consuming 100% CPU
and my disk full due to kern.log, syslog and messages rapidly growing in
size filled with these messages:

Dec 23 12:29:57 dukhat kernel: [336224.363138] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: reset: wrong host start response
Dec 23 12:29:57 dukhat kernel: [336224.363140] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING
Dec 23 12:29:57 dukhat kernel: [336224.363152] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: reset: unexpected enumeration response hbm.
Dec 23 12:29:57 dukhat kernel: [336224.363155] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING
Dec 23 12:29:57 dukhat kernel: [336224.363185] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: reset: wrong host start response
Dec 23 12:29:57 dukhat kernel: [336224.363187] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING
Dec 23 12:29:57 dukhat kernel: [336224.363199] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: reset: unexpected enumeration response hbm.
Dec 23 12:29:57 dukhat kernel: [336224.363201] mei_me 0000:00:16.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING

This patch rate-limits those specific messages to reduce the impact if
this problem ever recurs.
