Johannes Weiner 1be334e5c0 mm/page_alloc.c: ratelimit allocation failure warnings more aggressively
While investigating a bug related to higher atomic allocation failures,
we noticed the failure warnings positively drowning the console, and in
our case trigger lockup warnings because of a serial console too slow to
handle all that output.

But even if we had a faster console, it's unclear what additional
information the current level of repetition provides.

Allocation failures happen for three reasons: The machine is OOM, the VM
is failing to handle reasonable requests, or somebody is making
unreasonable requests (and didn't acknowledge their opportunism with
__GFP_NOWARN).  Having the memory dump, a callstack, and the ratelimit
stats on skipped failure warnings should provide enough information to
let users/admins/developers know whether something is wrong and point
them in the right direction for debugging, bpftracing etc.

Limit allocation failure warnings to one spew every ten seconds.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
