2 * ratelimit.c - Do something with rate limit.
4 * Isolated from kernel/printk.c by Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com>
6 * 2008-05-01 rewrite the function and use a ratelimit_state data struct as
7 * parameter. Now every user can use their own standalone ratelimit_state.

17 * __ratelimit - rate limiting
18 * @rs: ratelimit_state data
19 * @func: name of calling function
21 * This enforces a rate limit: not more than @rs->burst callbacks
22 * in every @rs->interval
25 * 0 means callbacks will be suppressed.
26 * 1 means go ahead and do it.

37 * If we contend on this state's lock then almost
38 * by definition we are too busy to print a message,
39 * in addition to the one that will be printed by
40 * the entity that is holding the lock already:
