[patch 03/54] NOHZ: Rate limit the local softirq pending warning output

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]>

The warning in the NOHZ code, which triggers when a CPU goes idle with
softirqs pending can fill up the logs quite quickly.  Rate limit the output
until we found the root cause of that problem.
