[PATCH] powerpc/modules: Don't WARN on first module allocation tentative

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Tue Nov 30 2021 - 05:11:05 EST


module_alloc() first tries to allocate module text within
24 bits direct jump from kernel text, and tries a wider
allocation if first one fails.

When first allocation fails the following is observed in kernel logs:

vmap allocation for size 2400256 failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size
systemd-udevd: vmalloc error: size 2395133, vm_struct allocation failed, mode:0xcc0(GFP_KERNEL), nodemask=(null)

Add __GFP_NOWARN flag to first allocation so that no warning appears
when it fails.
