[PATCH 1/3] mm/page_alloc: Fix pageblock_order when HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER >= MAX_ORDER

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Thu Feb 11 2021 - 01:22:53 EST


With HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE enabled, pageblock_order cannot be assigned
as HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER when it is greater than or equal to MAX_ORDER during
set_pageblock_order(). Otherwise the following warning is triggered during
boot as detected on an arm64 platform.

The above warning happens because pageblock_order exceeds MAX_ORDER, caused
by large HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER on certain platforms like arm64. Lets prevent
the scenario by first checking HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER against MAX_ORDER, before
its assignment as pageblock_order.
