Subject: [PATCH net-next RFC 2/6] netconsole: allow configuring the rate limit interval through configfs
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 03:29:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818-netcons_ratelimit-v1-2-8c5d2d17789c@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818-netcons_ratelimit-v1-0-8c5d2d17789c@debian.org>
The per-target token bucket has no interface, so every target is still
unlimited.
Expose the interval as ratelimit_interval_ms through configfs. It
defaults to zero, so a target stays unlimited until an administrator
sets one.
