Subject: [PATCH 7/7] platform/x86/intel/bff: Report frequent filter resets
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 11:15:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825181526.13203-8-tony.luck@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825181526.13203-1-tony.luck@intel.com>

If an instance of a bitfix filter contains some transient errors built
up over time, then resetting the filter will free up slots in the filter
to store persistent errors.

Save a time stamp when "yellow" status is seen and clear the filter.

Log at KERN_WARNING level if the overflow occurred quickly after a
previous overflow on the same bitfix filter instance. Use KERN_NOTICE
for first, or long delayed, overflow.
