I could find the following build error reported from lkp on V2.

mm/debug_vm_pgtable.c:445:8: warning: variable 'pud' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]

Could you please point to the syzbot reported problem on V1 as you
have mentioned above. Are there configs where HPAGE_[PMD|PUD]_ORDER
is greater than (MAX_ORDER - 1) ? If yes, how adding __GFP_NOWARN
solves the problem ?
