From: Oliver O'Halloran <ooh...@gmail.com> [ Upstream commit 4e0942c0302b5ad76b228b1a7b8c09f658a1d58a ]
Many drivers don't check for errors when they get a 0xFFs response from an MMIO load. As a result after an EEH event occurs a driver can get stuck in a polling loop unless it some kind of internal timeout logic. Currently EEH tries to detect and report stuck drivers by dumping a stack trace after eeh_dev_check_failure() is called EEH_MAX_FAILS times on an already frozen PE. The value of EEH_MAX_FAILS was chosen so that a dump would occur every few seconds if the driver was spinning in a loop. This results in a lot of spurious stack traces in the kernel log. Fix this by limiting it to printing one stack trace for each PE freeze. If the driver is truely stuck the kernel's hung task detector is better suited to reporting the probelm anyway.
