Subject: [PATCH] arm64/mm: Drop THP conditionality from FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2021 16:55:14 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1614597914-28565-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com> (raw)
Currently without THP being enabled, MAX_ORDER via FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER gets
reduced to 11, which falls below HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER for certain 16K and 64K
page size configurations. This is problematic which throws up the following
warning during boot as pageblock_order via HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER order exceeds
MAX_ORDER.

This solves the problem via keeping FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER unchanged with or
without THP on 16K and 64K page size configurations, making sure that the
HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER (and pageblock_order) would never exceed MAX_ORDER.

This applies on v5.12-rc1 and does not seem to have any obvious problem
on 16K and 64K page size configurations. This is a simpler alternate to
a previous series [1] which tried to solve the very same problem but in
a different way.
