Description

The batman-adv module currently produces a lot of logspam of the form

[107051.330000] net_ratelimit: 44 callbacks suppressed
[107325.800000] net_ratelimit: 88 callbacks suppressed
[107585.650000] net_ratelimit: 23 callbacks suppressed

This is caused by the definition of net_ratelimited_function in compat.h because net_ratelimit() is called independent of the current debug level. Thus net_ratelimit() prints the above messages although the actual message would not be printed.

The issue can be fixed trivially by calling net_ratelimit() after the debug level has been checked.

Yes, I can take some minutes later today. I'm not very familiar with the batman-adv code yet, but this definitely is a low-hanging fruit... ;)

I prepared a patch, see https://github.com/andrenarchy/batman-adv/commit/30ff8cf671a84875b2605c3cb5103639979763d4 .

It's not yet tested. Can you review the code? Thx!
