why 512 * 128KiB? It is:
|         chunk_pool = mempool_create_page_pool(sess_queue_depth * CHUNK_POOL_SZ,
|                                               get_order(max_chunk_size));
with
| static int __read_mostly max_chunk_size = DEFAULT_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE;
| static int __read_mostly sess_queue_depth = DEFAULT_SESS_QUEUE_DEPTH;
| #define CHUNK_POOL_SZ 10

so isn't it (512 * 10) * 128KiB?
