[Praveen Kannoju]

Hi,
I've forgot to remove RFC in the subject line. Will remove it and re-send another copy.

> Subject: [PATCH RFC] bonding: rate-limit bonding driver inspect messages
> 
> Through the routine bond_mii_monitor(), bonding driver inspects and commits the slave state changes. During the times when slave
> state change and failure in aqcuiring rtnl lock happen at the same time, the routine bond_mii_monitor() reschedules itself to come
> around after 1 msec to commit the new state.
> 
> During this, it executes the routine bond_miimon_inspect() to re-inspect the state chane and prints the corresponding slave state on
> to the console. Hence we do see a message at every 1 msec till the rtnl lock is acquired and state chage is committed.
> 
> This patch doesn't change how bond functions. It only simply limits this kind of log flood.
> 
> v2: Use exising net_ratelimit() instead of introducing new rate-limit parameter.
> 
> v3: Commit message is modified to provide summary of the issue, because of which rate-limiting the bonding driver messages is
> needed.
