Subject: checkpatch: add warning of future __GFP_NOFAIL use
X-Git-Tag: next-20140106~2^2~89
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bd3786e30cb90e387011bee4b651748f37c982d8;p=karo-tx-linux.git

checkpatch: add warning of future __GFP_NOFAIL use

gfp.h and page_alloc.c already specify that __GFP_NOFAIL is deprecated and
no new users should be added.

Add a warning to checkpatch to catch this.
