When we specify __GFP_NOWARN, we only expect that no warnings will be issued for current caller. But in the __should_failslab() and __should_fail_alloc_page(), the local GFP flags alter the global {failslab|fail_page_alloc}.attr, which is persistent and shared by all tasks. This is not what we expected, let's fix it.

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.
