I am sorry, I could have been more explicit when CCing you. Sure the
ratelimit is part of the problem. But I was more interested in the
potential livelock (infinite loop) mentioned by Qian Cai. It is not
important whether we generate one or more lines of output from the
softirq context as long as the printk generates more irq processing
which might end up doing the same. Is this really possible?
