this will not catch users who are doing gfp & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but
I would rather not make warn_alloc() even more cluttered with checks.

Yeah, FWIW, looks good to me.

Me too. Just don't forget to update the comment describing GFP_NOWAIT and check the existing users if duplicite __GFP_NOWARN can be removed, and if they really want to be doing GFP_NOWAIT and not GFP_ATOMIC.

Also dunno what about Tejun's eariler patch.
