To acquire all modeset locks requires a ww_ctx to be allocated. As this is the legacy path and the allocation small, to reduce the changes required (and complex untested error handling) to the legacy drivers, we simply assume that the allocation succeeds. At present, it relies on the too-small-to-fail rule, but syzbot found that by injecting a failure here we would hit the WARN. Document that this allocation must succeed with __GFP_NOFAIL.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
