drivers/block/loop.c: ratelimit error messages
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Metric tons of high speed spew is not helpful when things go pear shaped.
systemd lost its mind, forgot how to stop services it insists on being
sole manager of, massive printk() flood ensued, box eventually died.

[16206.684000] loop: Write error at byte offset 11412291584, length 4096.
[16206.684000] systemd-journald[1758]: /dev/kmsg buffer overrun, some messages lost.
