From: Leon Romanovsky <redacted> Any error status returned by FW will trigger similar to the following error message in the dmesg. [ 55.884355] mlx5_core 0000:00:04.0: mlx5_cmd_check:712:(pid 555): ALLOC_UAR(0x802) op_mod(0x0) failed, status limits exceeded(0x8), syndrome (0x0) Those prints are extremely valuable to diagnose issues with running system and it is important to keep them. However, not-so-careful user can trigger endless number of such prints by depleting HW resources and will spam dmesg. Rate limiting of such messages solves this issue.
