Takashi Iwai 7682e39948 ALSA: usx2y: Suppress kernel warning at page allocation failures
The usx2y driver allocates the stream read/write buffers in continuous
pages depending on the stream setup, and this may spew the kernel
warning messages with a stack trace like:
  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1846 at mm/page_alloc.c:3883
  __alloc_pages_slowpath+0x1ef2/0x2d70
  Modules linked in:
  CPU: 1 PID: 1846 Comm: kworker/1:2 Not tainted
  ....

It may confuse user as if it were any serious error, although this is
no fatal error and the driver handles the error case gracefully.
Since the driver has already some sanity check of the given size (128
and 256 pages), it can't pass any crazy value.  So it's merely page
fragmentation.

This patch adds __GFP_NOWARN to each caller for suppressing such
kernel warnings.  The original issue was spotted by syzkaller.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
