alloc_pages_exact*() allocates a page of sufficient order and then splits it to return only the number of pages requested. That makes it incompatible with __GFP_COMP, because compound pages cannot be split. As shown by [1] things may silently work until the requested size (possibly depending on user) stops being power of two. Then for CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, BUG_ON() triggers in split_page(). Without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, consequences are unclear. There are several options here, none of them great: 1) Don't do the splitting when __GFP_COMP is passed, and return the whole compound page. However if caller then returns it via free_pages_exact(), that will be unexpected and the freeing actions there will be wrong. 2) Warn and remove __GFP_COMP from the flags. But the caller may have really wanted it, so things may break later somewhere. 3) Warn and return NULL. However NULL may be unexpected, especially for small sizes. This patch picks option 2, because as Michal Hocko put it: "callers wanted it" is much less probable than "caller is simply confused and more gfp flags is surely better than fewer".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
