Pankaj Raghav reported that when filesystem block size is larger
than page size, the xattr code can use kmalloc() for high order
allocations. This triggers a useless warning in the allocator as it
is a __GFP_NOFAIL allocation here:
static inline
struct page *rmqueue(struct zone *preferred_zone,
struct zone *zone, unsigned int order,
gfp_t gfp_flags, unsigned int alloc_flags,
int migratetype)
{
struct page *page;
/*
* We most definitely don't want callers attempting to
* allocate greater than order-1 page units with __GFP_NOFAIL.
*/
>>>> WARN_ON_ONCE((gfp_flags & __GFP_NOFAIL) && (order > 1));
...
Fix this by changing all these call sites to use kvmalloc(), which
will strip the NOFAIL from the kmalloc attempt and if that fails
will do a __GFP_NOFAIL vmalloc().
This is not an issue that productions systems will see as
filesystems with block size > page size cannot be mounted by the
kernel; Pankaj is developing this functionality right now.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
