This should be a separate patch. Stackdepot was added in cd11016e5f5212c13c0cec7384a525edc93b4921
which is in v4.6.

Andrey, do you think we need this patch?
I've posted the link to
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2266971 in the discussion,
and my patch seems to have fixed the problem.
Adding __GFP_NOWARN will mask further problems of the similar nature,
so I think we'd better avoid it.

It fixed high memory consumption which is orthogonal problem.

How warning can help to detect such situations? Allocation failure doesn't mean that stackdepot
consumes too much memory.
