If you can't find the cause and you're using rsyslog, you can at least
filter out those messages. I used to have a Radeon graphics card,
and I had a huge amount of crap in syslog due to Radeon fence code in
the kernel. Adding this to rsyslog.conf before the rules removed it:
#### FILTERS =====================================================
# This apparently comes from Radeon fence code in the kernel.
:msg, contains, " armed on ring " ~
:msg, contains, " signaled from irq context" ~
:msg, contains, " pending" ~
:msg, contains, "alloc_contig_range:" ~
HTH.

Sent a network diagram that I dramatically simplified to an upset manager
via inter-office mail. In retrospect using crayon was not helping, as my
immediate manager pointed out. --Reddit admin, 2 Jun 2026
