powerpc/modules: Don't WARN on first module allocation attempt
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit f1797e4 ]

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 grate-driver#9

  ...

Add __GFP_NOWARN flag to first allocation so that no warning appears
when it fails.
