Actually, to retain the message text appearing in current kernel so that people can find
by e.g. Google newer syntax and possibly this thread maybe much better would be:

[sched_delayed] sched: RT throttling limit $d hit. Stopped running $cmd on CPU%d in favor of RR/FIFO task $psname. Will not issue any more these messages until reboot.

I know, looong line.


I just realized this is about some threshold limit value, and you mean that iwlwifi
contributed the highest increase compared to the other kernel threads on my system.

sysctl -q -a | grep -i limit

does not show what is the actual value. Am probably looking into a wrong place. ;-)
