Which other faults?

exc_general_protection() and do_trap() both call show_signal(), which then calls printk_ratelimit().


When you asked, I went through it and put out my reasoning.

What does that mean?


I went through my patch and check if ratelimit is necessary, and then describe the finding.

I think it still makes sense to keep it.

Because you have a hunch or you actually have an objective reason why?


For example, if a shell script, in a loop re-starts an app when it exits, and the app is causing control-protection fault. The log messages should be rate limited.
