Subject: gfp: include __GFP_NOWARN in GFP_NOWAIT
Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2023 21:15:07 +0000
GFP_NOWAIT callers are always prepared for their allocations to fail
because they fail so frequently. Forcing the callers to remember to add
__GFP_NOWARN is just annoying and leads to an endless stream of patches
for the places where we forgot to add it.
We can now remove __GFP_NOWARN from all the callers which specify
GFP_NOWAIT, but I'd rather wait a cycle and send patches to each
maintainer instead of creating a big pile of merge conflicts.
