This incurrs improper suppression. The begin value will be set in the next ratelimit call by 1). Then the time interval check will be always false, and rs->printed will not be initialized. Although enough time passed, ratelimit may return 0 if rs->printed is not less than rs->burst. To reset interval properly, begin should be jiffies rather than 0. For an example code below: static DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE(mylimit, 1, 1); for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) { if (__ratelimit(&mylimit)) printk("ratelimit test count %d\n", i); msleep(3000); } test result in the current code shows suppression even there is 3 seconds sleep.
