There are many instances where correctable errors tend to inundate
the message buffer. We observe such instances during thunderbolt PCIe
tunneling.
It's true that they are mitigated by the hardware and are non-fatal
but we shouldn't be spamming the logs with such correctable errors as it
confuses other kernel developers less familiar with PCI errors, support
staff, and users who happen to look at the logs, hence rate limit them.
A typical example log inside an HP TBT4 dock:
[54912.661142] pcieport 0000:00:07.0: AER: Multiple Corrected error received: 0000:2b:00.0
[54912.661194] igc 0000:2b:00.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Data Link Layer, (Transmitter ID)
[54912.661203] igc 0000:2b:00.0: device [8086:5502] error status/mask=00001100/00002000
[54912.661211] igc 0000:2b:00.0: [ 8] Rollover
[54912.661219] igc 0000:2b:00.0: [12] Timeout
[54982.838760] pcieport 0000:00:07.0: AER: Corrected error received: 0000:2b:00.0
[54982.838798] igc 0000:2b:00.0: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Data Link Layer, (Transmitter ID)
[54982.838808] igc 0000:2b:00.0: device [8086:5502] error status/mask=00001000/00002000
[54982.838817] igc 0000:2b:00.0: [12] Timeout
This gets repeated continuously, thus inundating the buffer.
