Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's xdp subsystem in the __xdp_reg_mem_model() function where a memory allocation failure will trigger a warning if the function __mem_id_init_hash_table() returns an error. This warning is unnecessary as it elevates the severity of a memory allocation failure and pollutes the kernel log with redundant and unnecessary warnings, decreasing the readability of system logs.
