Subject: [PATCH mlx5-next 05/12] net/mlx5: Rate limit errors in command interface

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2018 11:23:46 +0300

From: Leon Romanovsky <[email-masked]>

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.
