Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/8] net: macb: make rx error messages rate-limited
Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2026 19:24:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260304-macb-xsk-v1-1-ba2ebe2bdaa3@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260304-macb-xsk-v1-0-ba2ebe2bdaa3@bootlin.com>

If Rx codepath error messages trigger, they do not interrupt reception.
Kernel log gets spammed, we lose useful history and everything crawls
to a halt. Instead, make them rate-limited to keep old useful
information in the log and keep the system responsive.

No netdev_*_ratelimited() variants exist so we switch to dev_*().
