RDS/IB tries to refill the recv buffer in softirq context using
GFP_NOWAIT flag. However alloc failure is handled by queueing a work to
refill the recv buffer with GFP_KERNEL flag. This means failure to
allocate with GFP_NOWAIT isn't fatal. Do not print the PAF warnings if
softirq context fails to refill the recv buffer, instead print a one
line warning once a day.

Comment should start on next line.
I will add new line. checkpatch.pl didn't find it though.

Didn't notice this before.
Why not just use "pr_warn_ratelimited()" ?
I think you meant, get rid of if clause and use "pr_warn_ratelimited()"
instead.
That can still produce more than needed logs during low memory situation.
Try it out. It will do the same job as what you are trying to do.
