Subject: [PATCH] Don't send quota messages repeatedly when hardlimit reached
Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2007 19:11:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071218181148.GH31091@duck.suse.cz> (raw)

  Hello,

  attached patch makes sending of quota netlink messages behave the same
way as printing to console - i.e., we send a message when hardlimit is
reached and then send next message only when user gets below hardlimit.
This avoids flooding with message about hardlimit being reached... Andrew,
please apply. Thanks.

We should send quota message to netlink only once when hardlimit
is reached. Otherwise user could easily make the system busy by
trying to exceed the hardlimit (and also the messages could
be anoying if you cannot stop writing just now).
