From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: memcg: add __GFP_NOWARN in __memcg_schedule_kmem_cache_create() If there is heavy memory pressure, page allocation with __GFP_NOWAIT fails easily although it's order-0 request. I got below warning 9 times for normal boot.

We might miss some charges but that shouldn't be critical. The excessive allocation failure report is not very helpful.
