This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled powerpc/modules: Don't WARN on first module allocation attempt to the 5.16-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: powerpc-modules-don-t-warn-on-first-module-allocatio.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.16 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 3800b689457a89754a8811dfc523de79abd6c7fc Author: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 30 11:10:43 2021 +0100 powerpc/modules: Don't WARN on first module allocation attempt [ Upstream commit f1797e4de1146009c888bcf8b6bb6648d55394f1 ] module_alloc() first tries to allocate module text within 24 bits direct jump from kernel text, and tries a wider allocation if first one fails. When first allocation fails the following is observed in kernel logs: vmap allocation for size 2400256 failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size systemd-udevd: vmalloc error: size 2395133, vm_struct allocation failed, mode:0xcc0(GFP_KERNEL), nodemask=(null) CPU: 0 PID: 127 Comm: systemd-udevd Tainted: G W 5.15.5-gentoo-PowerMacG4 #9 Call Trace: [e2a53a50] [c0ba0048] dump_stack_lvl+0x80/0xb0 (unreliable) [e2a53a70] [c0540128] warn_alloc+0x11c/0x2b4 [e2a53b50] [c0531be8] __vmalloc_node_range+0xd8/0x64c [e2a53c10] [c00338c0] module_alloc+0xa0/0xac [e2a53c40] [c027a368] load_module+0x2ae0/0x8148 [e2a53e30] [c027fc78] sys_finit_module+0xfc/0x130 [e2a53f30] [c0035098] ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x28 ... Add __GFP_NOWARN flag to first allocation so that no warning appears when it fails.
