From: Guenter Roeck linux@roeck-us.net
[ Upstream commit 11bca0a83f83f6093d816295668e74ef24595944 ]
An interrupt storm on a bad interrupt will cause the kernel log to be clogged.
[ 60.089234] ->handle_irq(): ffffffffbe2f803f, [ 60.090455] 0xffffffffbf2af380 [ 60.090510] handle_bad_irq+0x0/0x2e5 [ 60.090522] ->irq_data.chip(): ffffffffbf2af380, [ 60.090553] IRQ_NOPROBE set [ 60.090584] ->handle_irq(): ffffffffbe2f803f, [ 60.090590] handle_bad_irq+0x0/0x2e5 [ 60.090596] ->irq_data.chip(): ffffffffbf2af380, [ 60.090602] 0xffffffffbf2af380 [ 60.090608] ->action(): (null) [ 60.090779] handle_bad_irq+0x0/0x2e5
This was seen when running an upstream kernel on Acer Chromebook R11. The system was unstable as result.
Guard the log message with __printk_ratelimit to reduce the impact. This won't prevent the interrupt storm from happening, but at least the system remains stable.
