We report object allocation failures to userspace with ENOMEM, yet we
still show the memory warning after failing to shrink device allocated
pages. While this warning is similar to other system page allocation
failures, it is superfluous to the ENOMEM provided directly to
userspace.

Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/4936

Is it not possible that this triggers OOM warning when calling sg_alloc_table() or similar?


I haven't observed any after running the test for a while but I think it might be possible, Do you think I should add __GFP_NOWARN for that too ?

I guess shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() is the most likely spot where this triggers OOM, but that doesn't have to be the case?
