Subject: [patch 1/10] suppress allocation warnings for radix-tree allocations
Date: Sun, 05 May 2002 13:53:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3CD59BAD.37BD6A51@zip.com.au> (raw)
The recently-added page allocation failure warning generates a lot of
noise due to radix-tree node allocation failures. Those messages are
not interesting.
But I think the warning is otherwise useful - "I got an allocation
failure and then it crashed" is better than "it crashed".
The patch suppresses the message for ratnode allocation failures.
