[ Upstream commit 9651e6b2e20648d04d5e1fe6479a3056047e8781 ]
I've got another report about breaking ext4 by ENOMEM error returned from ext4_mb_load_buddy() caused by memory shortage in memory cgroup. This time inside ext4_discard_preallocations().
This patch replaces ext4_error() with ext4_warning() where errors returned from ext4_mb_load_buddy() are not fatal and handled by caller: * ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations() - called before generating ENOSPC, we'll try to discard other group or return ENOSPC into user-space. * ext4_trim_all_free() - just stop trimming and return ENOMEM from ioctl.
Some callers cannot handle errors, thus __GFP_NOFAIL is used for them: * ext4_discard_preallocations() * ext4_mb_discard_lg_preallocations()
