H_COPY_TOFROM_GUEST is an hcall for an upper level VM to access its nested VMs memory. The userspace can trigger WARN_ON_ONCE(!(gfp & __GFP_NOWARN)) in __alloc_pages() by constructing a tiny VM which only does H_COPY_TOFROM_GUEST with a too big GPR9 (number of bytes to copy). This silences the warning by adding __GFP_NOWARN. Spotted by syzkaller.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
