[PATCH 5.18 011/141] dma-debug: make things less spammy under memory pressure

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jun 20 2022 - 08:53:36 EST


From: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit e19f8fa6ce1ca9b8b934ba7d2e8f34c95abc6e60 ]

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.
