Subject: fs/xattr.c: suppress page allocation failure warnings from sys_listxattr()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=703bf2d122c95412a30f72658c53ad6292867b0b;p=mv-sheeva.git

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.
