net, sunrpc: suppress allocation warning in rpc_malloc()
rpc_malloc() allocates with GFP_NOWAIT without making any attempt at reclaim so it easily fails when low on memory. This ends up spamming the kernel log: SLAB: Unable to allocate memory on node 0 (gfp=0x4000) cache: kmalloc-8192, object size: 8192, order: 1 node 0: slabs: 207/207, objs: 207/207, free: 0 rekonq: page allocation failure: order:1, mode:0x204000 CPU: 2 PID: 14321 Comm: rekonq Tainted: G O 3.15.0-rc3-12.gfc9498b-desktop+ #6 Hardware name: System manufacturer System Product Name/M4A785TD-V EVO, BIOS 2105 07/23/2010 0000000000000000 ffff880010ff17d0 ffffffff815e693c 0000000000204000 ffff880010ff1858 ffffffff81137bd2 0000000000000000 0000001000000000 ffff88011ffebc38 0000000000000001 0000000000204000 ffff88011ffea000 Call Trace: [<ffffffff815e693c>] dump_stack+0x4d/0x6f [<ffffffff81137bd2>] warn_alloc_failed+0xd2/0x140 [<ffffffff8113be19>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x7e9/0xa30 [<ffffffff811824a8>] kmem_getpages+0x58/0x140 [<ffffffff81183de6>] fallback_alloc+0x1d6/0x210 [<ffffffff81183be3>] ____cache_alloc_node+0x123/0x150 [<ffffffff81185953>] __kmalloc+0x203/0x490 [<ffffffffa06b0ee2>] rpc_malloc+0x32/0xa0 [sunrpc] [<ffffffffa06a6999>] call_allocate+0xb9/0x170 [sunrpc] [<ffffffffa06b19d8>] __rpc_execute+0x88/0x460 [sunrpc] [<ffffffffa06b2da9>] rpc_execute+0x59/0xc0 [sunrpc] [<ffffffffa06a932b>] rpc_run_task+0x6b/0x90 [sunrpc] [<ffffffffa077b5c1>] nfs4_call_sync_sequence+0x51/0x80 [nfsv4] [<ffffffffa077d45d>] _nfs4_do_setattr+0x1ed/0x280 [nfsv4] [<ffffffffa0782a72>] nfs4_do_setattr+0x72/0x180 [nfsv4] [<ffffffffa078334c>] nfs4_proc_setattr+0xbc/0x140 [nfsv4] [<ffffffffa074a7e8>] nfs_setattr+0xd8/0x240 [nfs] [<ffffffff811baa71>] notify_change+0x231/0x380 [<ffffffff8119cf5c>] chmod_common+0xfc/0x120 [<ffffffff8119df80>] SyS_chmod+0x40/0x90 [<ffffffff815f4cfd>] system_call_fastpath+0x1a/0x1f ... If the allocation fails, simply return NULL and avoid spamming the kernel log.
