Please be more polite to other people. After a197b59ae6 all allocations with GFP_DMA set on nodes without ZONE_DMA fail nearly silently (only one warning during bootup is emited, no matter how many things fail). This is a very crude change on behaviour. To be more civil, instead of failing emit noisy warnings each time smbd. tries to allocate a GFP_DMA memory on non-ZONE_DMA node.
The whole thing already got reverted in commit 1fa7b6a29c613.
