Subject: sctp: Pass __GFP_NOWARN to hash table allocation attempts.
From: David S. Miller <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit a84b50ceb7d640437d0dc28a2bef0d0de054de89 ]
Like DCCP and other similar pieces of code, there are mechanisms
here to try allocating smaller hash tables if the allocation
fails. So pass in __GFP_NOWARN like the others do instead of
emitting a scary message.
