[RFC PATCH 14/15] mm: introduce MIN_MAX_ORDER to replace MAX_ORDER as compile time constant.

From: Zi Yan
Date: Thu Aug 05 2021 - 15:06:07 EST


From: Zi Yan <ziy@xxxxxxxxxx>

For other MAX_ORDER uses (described below), there is no need or too much
hassle to convert certain static array to dynamic ones. Add
MIN_MAX_ORDER to serve as compile time constant in place of MAX_ORDER.

ARM64 hypervisor maintains its own free page list and does not import
any core kernel symbols, so soon-to-be runtime variable MAX_ORDER is not
accessible in ARM64 hypervisor code. Also there is no need to allocating
very large pages.

In SLAB/SLOB/SLUB, 2-D array kmalloc_caches uses MAX_ORDER in its second
dimension. It is too much hassle to allocate memory for kmalloc_caches
before any proper memory allocator is set up.
