Hi,

I'm reporting a regression in linux-next that was introduced between 
20251114 and 20251117.

Regression Info:
- Working: 6.18.0-rc5-next-20251114
- Broken: 6.18.0-rc6-next-20251117

Environment:
- IBM Power11 pSeries (ppc64le)
- Fedora43 Distro

Issue:
WARNING: mm/vmalloc.c:3937 at vmalloc_fix_flags+0x6c/0xa0
"Unexpected gfp: 0x400000 (__GFP_ACCOUNT). Fixing up to gfp: 0xdc0 
(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO). Fix your code!"

Call Trace:
[  523.921345] Unexpected gfp: 0x400000 (__GFP_ACCOUNT). Fixing up to 
gfp: 0xdc0 (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO). Fix your code!
[  523.921356] WARNING: mm/vmalloc.c:3937 at

This was reported here too -

Looks like it should be fixed with v3, which was posted just
yesterday...

So, I guess, latest linux-next should not show this warning on ppc64le either.
