How do I suppress generation of a dmesg on physical memory access in OL6U4?

Shridesh-OracleMay 28 2013 — edited May 30 2013

Hi,

We have a physical memory diagnostic test we use to test memory. This requires us to access physical memory. Each time we run our test we see dmesg flooded with messages like below:

[286386.707865] Program pmemtest tried to access /dev/mem between 1b9c27d000->1b9c37d000.
[286386.707869] Program pmemtest tried to access /dev/mem between 1b9c37d000->1b9c47d000.
[286386.707876] Program pmemtest tried to access /dev/mem between 1b9c47d000->1b9c57d000.
[286386.707880] Program pmemtest tried to access /dev/mem between 1b9c57d000->1b9c67d000.

[286386.707899] Program pmemtest tried to access /dev/mem between 1b9c97d000->1b9ca7d000.
[286386.707903] Program pmemtest tried to access /dev/mem between 1b9ca7d000->1b9cb7d000.
[286386.707908] Program pmemtest tried to access /dev/mem between 1b9cb7d000->1b9cc7d000.
[286386.707913] Program pmemtest tried to access /dev/mem between 1b9cc7d000->1b9cd24300.

Is there a mechanism to selectively suppress such messages from being generated while the physical memory diagnostic is being run?

Thanks,
