Yep.


Here is perfect macro for that jiffies check: time_in_range_open.

/*
 * Calculate whether a is in the range of [b, c).
 */
#define time_in_range_open(a,b,c) \
(time_after_eq(a,b) && \
time_before(a,c))

So... better version looks like

#define printk_periodic(period, fmt, ...)
({
        static unsigned long __prev __read_mostly = INITIAL_JIFFIES - (period);
        unsigned long __now = jiffies;
        bool __print = !time_in_range_open(__now, __prev, __prev + (period));

        if (__print) {
                __prev = __now;
                printk(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__);
        }
        unlikely(__print);
})
