The PCIe Bandwidth Change Notification feature logs messages when the link bandwidth changes. Some users have reported that these messages occur often enough to significantly reduce NVMe performance. GPUs also seem to generate these messages. We don't know why the link bandwidth changes, but in the reported cases there's no indication that it's caused by hardware failures. Remove the bandwidth change notifications for now. Hopefully we can add this back when we have a better understanding of why this happens and how we can make the messages useful instead of overwhelming.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
