[PATCH 2/2] iommu/dma: use __GFP_NOWARN only for high-order allocations

From: Tomasz Figa
Date: Tue Jun 27 2017 - 03:30:54 EST


Memory allocation routines are expected to report allocation errors to
kernel log. However, current implementation of __iommu_dma_alloc_pages()
adds __GFP_NOWARN for all calls to alloc_pages(), which completely
disables any logging.

Fix it by adding __GFP_NOWARN only to high order allocation attempts,
which are not critical.
