| |
The other architectures with ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER are selectable, but not for ARM64, this is to make it selectable on ARM64, which is useful for user that need to allocate more than 4MB of physically contiguous memory with 4K pagesize, also more bigger on 16K pagesize too, the max value of MAX_ORDER is calculated bellow,
see include/linux/mmzone.h,
MAX_ORDER - 1 + PAGE_SHIFT <= SECTION_SIZE_BITS
so max value of MAX_ORDER = SECTION_SIZE_BITS + 1 - PAGE_SHIFT
| SECTION_SIZE_BITS | PAGE_SHIFT | max MAX_ORDER | default MAX_ORDER | ----+-------------------+--------------+-----------------+--------------------+ 4K | 27 | 12 | 16 | 11 | 16K | 27 | 14 | 14 | 12 | 64K | 29 | 16 | 14 | 14 | ----+-------------------+--------------+-----------------+--------------------+
