Hello:

This patch was applied to netdev/net-next.git (main)

__napi_alloc_skb() is napi_alloc_skb() with the added flexibility
of choosing gfp_mask. This is a NAPI function, so GFP_ATOMIC is
implied. The only practical choice the caller has is whether to
set __GFP_NOWARN. But that's a false choice, too, allocation failures
in atomic context will happen, and printing warnings in logs,
effectively for a packet drop, is both too much and very likely
non-actionable.
