Subject: [PATCH 14/14] xtensa: reword ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER prompt and help text
Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2023 11:21:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230323092156.2545741-15-rppt@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230323092156.2545741-1-rppt@kernel.org>

From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" <rppt@kernel.org>

The prompt and help text of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER are not even close to
describe this configuration option.

Update both to actually describe what this option does.

 	help
-	  The kernel memory allocator divides physically contiguous memory
-	  blocks into "zones", where each zone is a power of two number of
-	  pages.  This option selects the largest power of two that the kernel
-	  keeps in the memory allocator.  If you need to allocate very large
-	  blocks of physically contiguous memory, then you may need to
-	  increase this value.
+	  The kernel page allocator limits the size of maximal physically
+	  contiguous allocations. The limit is called MAX_ORDER and it
+	  defines the maximal power of two of number of pages that can be
+	  allocated as a single contiguous block. This option allows
+	  overriding the default setting when ability to allocate very
+	  large blocks of physically contiguous memory is required.
+
+	  Don't change if unsure.
