Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/4] sfc: use __GFP_NOWARN when allocating RX pages from atomic context.
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2015 15:01:29 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5630E349.70207@solarflare.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <5630E2FD.3070609@solarflare.com>

From: Alexandra Kossovsky <Alexandra.Kossovsky@oktetlabs.ru>

If we fail to allocate a page when in atomic context this is
handled by scheduling a fill in non-atomic context.
As such, a warning is not needed.
