[ Upstream commit 0e99b2c625da181aebf1a3d13493e3f7a5057a9c ] Add a flag to DMA memory allocation to silence a warning. This driver allocates DMA memory for IO frames. This allocation may exceed MAX_ORDER pages for few megaraid_sas controllers (controllers with very high queue depth). Consequently, the driver has logic to keep reducing the controller queue depth until the DMA memory allocation succeeds. On impacted megaraid_sas controllers there would be multiple DMA allocation failures until driver settled on an allocation that fit. These failed DMA allocation requests caused stack traces in system logs. These were not harmful and this patch silences those warnings/stack traces.

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.
