Subject: [ 08/15] serial: 8250, increase PASS_LIMIT
Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 13:18:32 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130124211726.749523382@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130124211723.489089115@linuxfoundation.org>
3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com>
commit e7328ae1848966181a7ac47e8ae6cddbd2cf55f3 upstream.
With virtual machines like qemu, it's pretty common to see "too much
work for irq4" messages nowadays. This happens when a bunch of output
is printed on the emulated serial console. This is caused by too low
PASS_LIMIT. When ISR loops more than the limit, it spits the message.
I've been using a kernel with doubled the limit and I couldn't see no
problems. Maybe it's time to get rid of the message now?
