net: suppress warnings on dev_alloc_skb Noticed an allocation failure in a network driver the other day on a 32 bit system: DMA-API: debugging out of memory - disabling bnx2fc: adapter_lookup: hba NULL lldpad: page allocation failure. order:0, mode:0x4120 Pid: 4556, comm: lldpad Not tainted 2.6.32-639.el6.i686.debug #1 Call Trace: [<c08a4086>] ? printk+0x19/0x23 [<c05166a4>] ? __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x664/0x830 [<c0649d02>] ? free_object+0x82/0xa0 [<fb4e2c9b>] ? ixgbe_alloc_rx_buffers+0x10b/0x1d0 [ixgbe] [<fb4e2fff>] ? ixgbe_configure_rx_ring+0x29f/0x420 [ixgbe] [<fb4e228c>] ? ixgbe_configure_tx_ring+0x15c/0x220 [ixgbe] [<fb4e3709>] ? ixgbe_configure+0x589/0xc00 [ixgbe] [<fb4e7be7>] ? ixgbe_open+0xa7/0x5c0 [ixgbe] [<fb503ce6>] ? ixgbe_init_interrupt_scheme+0x5b6/0x970 [ixgbe] [<fb4e8e54>] ? ixgbe_setup_tc+0x1a4/0x260 [ixgbe] [<fb505a9f>] ? ixgbe_dcbnl_set_state+0x7f/0x90 [ixgbe] [<c088d80d>] ? dcb_doit+0x10ed/0x16d0 ... Thought that perhaps the big splat in the logs wasn't really necessecary, as all call sites for dev_alloc_skb: a) check the return code for the function and b) either print their own error message or have a recovery path that makes the warning moot. Fix it by modifying dev_alloc_pages to pass __GFP_NOWARN as a gfp flag to suppress the warning applies to the net tree Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> CC: "David S.
