由 dawei 本文主要介绍内核打印限速函数net_ratelimit()的使用说明：
1) net_ratelimit()用于保护内核网络调试信息的打印, 当它返回(TRUE)时则可以打印调试信息,返回零则禁止信息打印. 它的特性为当"极快地"调用net_ratelimit()时,它最多只允许连续打印前10条信息, 后继信息每隔5秒允许打印一次.这样可防止攻击者使内核不断产生调试信息来使系统过载的拒绝服务攻击.2) net_ratelimit()定义了一个时间计数器变量(toks), 它随着系统时钟计数线性增长,但不超时50秒时钟计数(net_msg_burst). 当计时器的值大于或等于5秒时钟计数(net_msg_cost)时,则允许打印信息. 每允许打印一条信息, 计时器就减去5秒计数, 当计时器的值小于5秒时, 就不允许打印信息了.; net/core/utils.c:
int net_msg_cost = 5*HZ; /*在拥塞时, 每条网络消息记录所间隔的时间*/
int net_msg_burst = 10*5*HZ; /*连续记录网络突发消息的间隔(最多连续记录10条消息)*/
/*
* This enforces a rate limit: not more than one kernel message
* every 5secs to make a denial-of-service attack impossible.
*
* All warning printk()s should be guarded by this function.
*/
