[PATCH 2/3] dm bufio: remove redundant __GFP_NOWARN

From: Qianfeng Rong
Date: Mon Aug 11 2025 - 08:38:50 EST


GFP_NOWAIT already includes __GFP_NOWARN, so let's remove the redundant
__GFP_NOWARN. Also update comments to clarify the flag semantics.

* dm-bufio is resistant to allocation failures (it just keeps

* __GFP_NORETRY: don't retry and rather return failure
* __GFP_NOMEMALLOC: don't use emergency reserves
- * __GFP_NOWARN: don't print a warning in case of failure

* For debugging, if we set the cache size to 1, no new buffers will
* be allocated.
