[PATCH v2] dma-debug: Make things less spammy under memory pressure

From: Rob Clark
Date: Wed Jun 01 2022 - 10:51:21 EST


From: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Limit the error msg to avoid flooding the console. If you have a lot of
threads hitting this at once, they could have already gotten passed the
dma_debug_disabled() check before they get to the point of allocation
failure, resulting in quite a lot of this error message spamming the
log. Use pr_err_once() to limit that.

v2: Use pr_err_once() instead of ratelimited, and spiff out commit msg a bit.
