[PATCH] dma/pool: respect __GFP_NOWARN in dma_alloc_from_pool()
From: Sai Sree Kartheek Adivi
Date: Sat Jan 10 2026 - 20:42:04 EST
Currently, dma_alloc_from_pool() unconditionally warns and dumps a stack
trace when an allocation fails.
This prevents callers from using the __GFP_NOWARN flag to suppress error
messages, breaking the expectation that this flag will silence
allocation failure logs.
Align dma_pool behaviour with other core allocators by checking for
__GFP_NOWARN before issuing the warning.
Fixes: 9420139f516d ("dma-pool: fix coherent pool allocations for IOMMU mappings")
