backporting commit 187916e6ed9d ("drm/amdgpu: install stub fence into
potential unused fence pointers") to stable kernels resulted in lots of
WARNINGs on some devices. In my case I was getting 3 WARNINGs per
second (~150 lines logged every second). Commit ended up being reverted for
stable but it exposed a potential problem. My messages log size was reaching
gigabytes and was running my /tmp/ out of space.
Could someone take a look at amdgpu_sync_keep_later / dma_fence_is_later
and make sure its logging is rate limited to avoid such situations in the
future,
please?

These patches were never intended for stable. They were picked up by Sasha's
stable autoselect tools and automatically applied to stable kernels.
Are you saying massive WARNINGs in dma_fence_is_later() can't happen
in any other case? I understand it was an incorrect backport action but
I thought we may learn from it and still add some rate limit.
