ratelimit: fix bug in time interval by resetting right begin time
commit c2594bc37f4464bc74f2c119eb3269a643400aa0 upstream.
rs->begin in ratelimit is set in two cases.
1) when rs->begin was not initialized
2) when rs->interval was passed
For case #2, current ratelimit sets the begin to 0. This incurrs
improper suppression. The begin value will be set in the next ratelimit
call by 1). Then the time interval check will be always false, and
rs->printed will not be initialized. Although enough time passed,
ratelimit may return 0 if rs->printed is not less than rs->burst. To
reset interval properly, begin should be jiffies rather than 0.
For an example code below:
static DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE(mylimit, 1, 1);
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
if (__ratelimit(&mylimit))
printk("ratelimit test count %d\n", i);
msleep(3000);
}
test result in the current code shows suppression even there is 3 seconds sleep.
