Sorry about my limited knowledge, but why it needs a WARN here since
I think it will never fail if __GFP_NOFAIL is added (no ?).
I'm not sure if Hulk CI is completely broken or not on this, also if
such CI can now generate trivial patch (?) since the subject, commit
message and even the variable name is quite similiar to
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/20201124104531.561-2-thunder.leizhen@xxxxxxxxxx
in a day.
And it'd be better to look into the code before sending patches...
