Subject: [PATCH 04/17] ACPI, APEI, GHES, Do not ratelimit fatal error printk before panic
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2011 13:14:15 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1310534068-30547-5-git-send-email-ying.huang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1310534068-30547-1-git-send-email-ying.huang@intel.com>

printk is used by GHES to report hardware errors.  Normally, the
printk will be ratelimited to avoid too many hardware error reports in
kernel log.  Because there may be thousands or even millions of
corrected hardware errors during system running.

That is different for fatal hardware error, because system will go
panic as soon as possible, there will be no more than several error
records.  And these error records are valuable for system fault
diagnosis, so they should not be ratelimited.
