[PATCH 0/2] swiotlb: Rate-limit printing and 64-bit memory debugging

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Mon Oct 31 2016 - 11:45:37 EST


Hi Konrad, Jon,

This patch series contains two improvements for the SWIOTLB subsystem.

The first patch adds rate-limiting to an error message, to avoid
flooding the kernel log.
The second patch adds a kernel command line option to aid debugging when
developing support for DMA to memory outside the 32-bit address space.

Thanks for your comments!
