[PATCH] drm: qxl: ratelimit pr_info message, reduce log spamming

From: Colin King
Date: Tue Sep 12 2017 - 05:45:58 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Simply mmap'ing /dev/dri/card0 repeatedly will spam the kernel
log with qxl_mmap information messages. The following example code
illustrates this:

int main(void)
{
int fd = open("/dev/dri/card0", O_RDONLY);
if (fd == -1)
err(1, "open failed");

for (;;) {
void *m = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ,
MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
if (m != MAP_FAILED)
munmap(m, 4096);
}
}

Reduce the spamming by ratelimiting the pr_info messages.
