[Dnsmasq-discuss] [PATCH] Improve UBus support

This all looks sensible, with one exception: the logging in
set_ubus_listeners() and check_ubus_listeners() and associated with the
calls to check_ubus_listeners can potentially massively span the logs -
a long lived error will log multiple lines every time dnsmasq spins its
event loop. It would be good to have rate limiting there. Set a flag
after logging the error which inhibits further errors, clear it once a
normal situation is restored.


Cheers,

Simon.
