Furthermore, a failed vmalloc() is not guaranteed to emit an OOM
message, is it ?

It currently displays a message without context :

vmap allocation for size XXXXXX failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase
size.

So we dont know which part of the kernel asked this allocation.

Please dont remove existing error messages after failed vmalloc() calls.

Indeed.

Joe, these vmalloc() and also the __GFP_NOWARN cases will need to be
attended to and this series resubmitted as such.

Thanks.
