Subject: [PATCH 2/3] profile: Suppress warning about large allocations when profile=1 is specified
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 16:43:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1245685414-8979-3-git-send-email-mel@csn.ul.ie> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1245685414-8979-1-git-send-email-mel@csn.ul.ie>
When profile= is used, a large buffer is allocated early at boot. This
can be larger than what the page allocator can provide so it prints a
warning. However, the caller is able to handle the situation so this patch
suppresses the warning.
