Subject: [PATCH v6 4/4] mm: ratelimit min_free_kbytes adjustment messages
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2026 03:17:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260311-thp_logs-v6-4-421e30d881e0@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260311-thp_logs-v6-0-421e30d881e0@debian.org>
The "raising min_free_kbytes" pr_info message in
set_recommended_min_free_kbytes() and the "min_free_kbytes is not
updated to" pr_warn in calculate_min_free_kbytes() can spam the
kernel log when called repeatedly.
Switch the pr_info in set_recommended_min_free_kbytes() and the
pr_warn in calculate_min_free_kbytes() to their _ratelimited variants
to prevent the log spam for this message.
