From 7db688e99c0f770ae73e0f1f3fb67f9b64266445 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Osipenko Date: Tue, 2 Mar 2021 12:58:50 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] pstore/ram: Rate-limit "uncorrectable error in header" message There is a quite huge "uncorrectable error in header" flood in KMSG on a clean system boot since there is no pstore buffer saved in RAM. Let's silence the redundant noisy messages by rate-limiting the printk message. Now there are maximum 10 messages printed repeatedly instead of 35+.
