Why introduce the max_t() call here? Did nobody read the documentation
or implementation for get_order() before writing this patch?

get_order() result is undefined if the size is 0. I've used max_t() here to
avoid that case. Perhaps should we prevent that case before getting here?

Surely we've handled a length-0 write before we get here?

I think one of my earlier attemps was to use fgf_set_order + FGF_GET_ORDER()
as in iomap. But the solution taken there was to share code between shmem
and filemap and that wasn't considered a good idea. Shall we just replicate
iomap_get_folio()? Or else, what do you suggest here?

We could move three of the four lines from fgf_set_order() into a
new function and call it from both fgf_set_order() and shmem?

Sounds good. How about the following changes? Do you have a perferred name for the new helper? Thanks.
