[PATCH] x86/mm: Fix log overwrite in CPA check_conflict()
From: Khalid Ali
Date: Thu Jun 19 2025 - 13:44:13 EST
From: Khalid Ali <khaliidcaliy@xxxxxxxxx>
On certain configurations (e.g. custom builds), check_conflict()
may produce a large number of warnings, flooding the kernel log
and overwriting earlier messages.
Observed warning:
CPA protect Rodata RO: 0xffff888022a75000 - 0xffff888022a75fff
PFN 22a75 req 8000000000000023 prevent 0000000000000002
Rate-limit these messages by replacing pr_warn() with
pr_warn_ratelimited().
