From 703bf2d122c95412a30f72658c53ad6292867b0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Jones Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2012 14:25:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fs/xattr.c: suppress page allocation failure warnings from sys_listxattr() This size is user controllable, up to a maximum of XATTR_LIST_MAX (64k). So it's trivial for someone to trigger a stream of order:4 page allocation errors.
