Subject[PATCH mmotm] mm: alloc_large_system_hash check order
On an x86_64 with 4GB ram, tcp_init()'s call to alloc_large_system_hash(),
to allocate tcp_hashinfo.ehash, is now triggering an mmotm WARN_ON_ONCE on
order >= MAX_ORDER - it's hoping for order 11. alloc_large_system_hash()
had better make its own check on the order.

Should probably follow
page-allocator-do-not-sanity-check-order-in-the-fast-path-fix.patch

Cc'ed DaveM and netdev, just in case they're surprised it was asking for
so much, or disappointed it's not getting as much as it was asking for.
