[PATCH 1/2] mm/damon/dbgfs: Use '__GFP_NOWARN' for user-specified size buffer allocation

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Wed Nov 10 2021 - 09:58:23 EST


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.
