Subject: genirq: Guard handle_bad_irq log messages
From: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 11bca0a83f83f6093d816295668e74ef24595944 ]
An interrupt storm on a bad interrupt will cause the kernel
log to be clogged.
[ 60.089234] ->handle_irq(): ffffffffbe2f803f,
[ 60.090455] 0xffffffffbf2af380
[ 60.090510] handle_bad_irq+0x0/0x2e5
[ 60.090522] ->irq_data.chip(): ffffffffbf2af380,
[ 60.090553] IRQ_NOPROBE set
[ 60.090584] ->handle_irq(): ffffffffbe2f803f,
[ 60.090590] handle_bad_irq+0x0/0x2e5
[ 60.090596] ->irq_data.chip(): ffffffffbf2af380,
[ 60.090602] 0xffffffffbf2af380
[ 60.090608] ->action(): (null)
[ 60.090779] handle_bad_irq+0x0/0x2e5
This was seen when running an upstream kernel on Acer Chromebook R11. The
system was unstable as result.
Guard the log message with __printk_ratelimit to reduce the impact. This
won't prevent the interrupt storm from happening, but at least the system
remains stable.
