Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ratelimit: Do not lose messages under limit
Date: Thu, 10 May 2018 13:52:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180510125211.12583-1-dima@arista.com> (raw)

There are two issues with ratelimiting as far a I can see:
1. Messages may be lost even if their amount fit burst limit;
2. "suppressed" message may not be printed if there is no call to
   ___ratelimit() after interval ends.

I address (1) issue in the second patch.
While the (2) issue will require adding timers to print "suppressed"
message and care if ratelimit is on stack and no more exists. Which
looks too much at this point.
