Subject[PATCH 5.15 199/279] mm/damon/dbgfs: use __GFP_NOWARN for user-specified size buffer allocation
Date
From: SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org>

commit db7a347b26fe05d2e8c115bb24dfd908d0252bc3 upstream.

Patch series "DAMON fixes".

This patch (of 2):

DAMON users can trigger below warning in '__alloc_pages()' by invoking
write() to some DAMON debugfs files with arbitrarily high count
argument, because DAMON debugfs interface allocates some buffers based
on the user-specified 'count'.

if (unlikely(order >= MAX_ORDER)) {
WARN_ON_ONCE(!(gfp & __GFP_NOWARN));
return NULL;
}

Because the DAMON debugfs interface code checks failure of the
'kmalloc()', this commit simply suppresses the warnings by adding
'__GFP_NOWARN' flag.
