From f46c483357c2d87606bbefb511321e3efd4baae0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2006 22:07:16 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add printk_timed_ratelimit() printk_ratelimit() has global state which makes it not useful for callers which wish to perform ratelimiting at a particular frequency. Add a printk_timed_ratelimit() which utilises caller-provided state storage to permit more flexibility. This function can in fact be used for things other than printk ratelimiting and is perhaps poorly named.
