Allocation failure obviously and violatin of certain API rules - e.g. dup names, wrong nesting, activation rule violations. Some can be warned automatically but I'm not sure about e.g. activation rule violation. Also, please note that w/ kmemcg order-0 allocation failures are a lot more common and we probably won't want to print out warnings automatically. For module's use case, it can just trigger warnings and continue on but I don't think it'd be a good idea to cripple the API by making it trigger warnings internally and then make it return void.
