PF_SWAPWRITE has been redundant since v3.2 commit ee72886d8e ("mm:
vmscan: do not writeback filesystem pages in direct reclaim").
Coincidentally, NeilBrown's current patch "remove inode_congested()"
deletes may_write_to_inode(), which appeared to be the one function which
took notice of PF_SWAPWRITE. But if you study the old logic, and the
conditions under which may_write_to_inode() was called, you discover that
flag and function have been pointless for a decade.

Userfaultfd is supposed to provide the full address (i.e., unmasked) of
the faulting access back to userspace. However, that is not the case for
quite some time.
Even running "userfaultfd_demo" from the userfaultfd man page provides the
wrong output (and contradicts the man page). Notice that
"UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT event" shows the masked address (7fc5e30b3000) and
not the first read address (0x7fc5e30b300f).
Address returned by mmap() = 0x7fc5e30b3000
fault_handler_thread():
poll() returns: nready = 1; POLLIN = 1; POLLERR = 0
UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT event: flags = 0; address = 7fc5e30b3000
(uffdio_copy.copy returned 4096)
Read address 0x7fc5e30b300f in main(): A
Read address 0x7fc5e30b340f in main(): A
Read address 0x7fc5e30b380f in main(): A
Read address 0x7fc5e30b3c0f in main(): A
The exact address is useful for various reasons and specifically for
prefetching decisions. If it is known that the memory is populated by
certain objects whose size is not page-aligned, then based on the faulting
address, the uffd-monitor can decide whether to prefetch and prefault the
adjacent page.
This bug has been for quite some time in the kernel: since commit
1a29d85eb0 ("mm: use vmf->address instead of of vmf->virtual_address")
vmf->virtual_address"), which dates back to 2016. A concern has been
raised that existing userspace application might rely on the old/wrong
behavior in which the address is masked. Therefore, it was suggested to
provide the masked address unless the user explicitly asks for the exact
address.
Add a new userfaultfd feature UFFD_FEATURE_EXACT_ADDRESS to direct
userfaultfd to provide the exact address. Add a new "real_address" field
to vmf to hold the unmasked address. Provide the address to userspace
accordingly.
Initialize real_address in various code-paths to be consistent with
address, even when it is not used, to be on the safe side.

Since the head vmemmap page frame associated with each HugeTLB page is
reused, we should hide the PG_head flag of tail struct page from the
user. Add a tese case to check whether it is work properly. The test
steps are as follows.
1) alloc 2MB hugeTLB
2) get each page frame
3) apply those APIs in each page frame
4) Those APIs work completely the same as before.
Reading the flags of a page by /proc/kpageflags is done in
stable_page_flags(), which has invoked PageHead(), PageTail(),
PageCompound() and compound_head().
If those APIs work properly, the head page must have 15 and 17 bits set.
And tail pages must have 16 and 17 bits set but 15 bit unset. Those
flags are checked in check_page_flags().

The init_mm.page_table_lock is used to protect kernel page tables, we
can use it to serialize splitting vmemmap PMD mappings instead of mmap
write lock, which can increase the concurrency of vmemmap_remap_free().
Actually, It increase the concurrency between allocations of HugeTLB
pages. But it is not the only benefit. There are a lot of users of
mmap read lock of init_mm. The mmap write lock is holding through
vmemmap_remap_free(), removing mmap write lock usage to make it does not
affect other users of mmap read lock. It is not making anything worse
and always a win to move.
Now the kernel page table walker does not hold the page_table_lock when
walking pmd entries. There may be consistency issue of a pmd entry,
because pmd entry might change from a huge pmd entry to a PTE page
table. There is only one user of kernel page table walker, namely
ptdump. The ptdump already considers the consistency, which use a local
variable to cache the value of pmd entry. But we also need to update
->action to ACTION_CONTINUE to make sure the walker does not walk every
pte entry again when concurrent thread has split the huge pmd.

The page_fixed_fake_head() is used throughout memory management and the
conditional check requires checking a global variable, although the
overhead of this check may be small, it increases when the memory cache
comes under pressure. Also, the global variable will not be modified
after system boot, so it is very appropriate to use static key machanism.

Patch series "Free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB
page", v7.
This series can minimize the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB
pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by
12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means
2GB per 1TB HugeTLB. It is a nice gain. Comments and reviews are
welcome. Thanks.
The main implementation and details can refer to the commit log of patch
1. In this series, I have changed the following four helpers, the
following table shows the impact of the overhead of those helpers.
+------------------+-----------------------+
| APIs | head page | tail page |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| PageHead() | Y | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| PageTail() | Y | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| PageCompound() | N | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
| compound_head() | Y | N |
+------------------+-----------+-----------+
Y: Overhead is increased.
N: Overhead is _NOT_ increased.
It shows that the overhead of those helpers on a tail page don't change
between "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" and "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=off". But the
overhead on a head page will be increased when "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on"
(except PageCompound()). So I believe that Matthew Wilcox's folio series
will help with this.
The users of PageHead() and PageTail() are much less than compound_head()
and most users of PageTail() are VM_BUG_ON(), so I have done some tests
about the overhead of compound_head() on head pages.
I have tested the overhead of calling compound_head() on a head page,
which is 2.11ns (Measure the call time of 10 million times
compound_head(), and then average).
For a head page whose address is not aligned with PAGE_SIZE or a
non-compound page, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.54ns which is
increased by 20%. For a head page whose address is aligned with
PAGE_SIZE, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.97ns which is increased by
40%. Most pages are the former. I do not think the overhead is
significant since the overhead of compound_head() itself is low.
This patch (of 5):
This patch minimizes the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages
significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5%
for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per
1TB HugeTLB (2MB type).
After the feature of "Free sonme vmemmap pages of HugeTLB page" is
enabled, the mapping of the vmemmap addresses associated with a 2MB
HugeTLB page becomes the figure below.
HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages)
+-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head
| | | 0 | -------------> | 0 |
| | +-----------+ +-----------+
| | | 1 | -------------> | 1 |
| | +-----------+ +-----------+
| | | 2 | ----------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
| | +-----------+ | | | | |
| | | 3 | ------------------+ | | | |
| | +-----------+ | | | |
| | | 4 | --------------------+ | | |
| 2MB | +-----------+ | | |
| | | 5 | ----------------------+ | |
| | +-----------+ | |
| | | 6 | ------------------------+ |
| | +-----------+ |
| | | 7 | --------------------------+
| | +-----------+
| |
| |
| |
+-----------+
As we can see, the 2nd vmemmap page frame (indexed by 1) is reused and
remaped. However, the 2nd vmemmap page frame is also can be freed to
the buddy allocator, then we can change the mapping from the figure
above to the figure below.
HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages)
+-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head
| | | 0 | -------------> | 0 |
| | +-----------+ +-----------+
| | | 1 | ---------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
| | +-----------+ | | | | | |

| | | 6 | -------------------------+ |
| | +-----------+ |
| | | 7 | ---------------------------+
| | +-----------+
| |
| |
| |
+-----------+
After we do this, all tail vmemmap pages (1-7) are mapped to the head
vmemmap page frame (0). In other words, there are more than one page
struct with PG_head associated with each HugeTLB page. We __know__ that
there is only one head page struct, the tail page structs with PG_head are
fake head page structs. We need an approach to distinguish between those
two different types of page structs so that compound_head(), PageHead()
and PageTail() can work properly if the parameter is the tail page struct
but with PG_head.
The following code snippet describes how to distinguish between real and
fake head page struct.
if (test_bit(PG_head, &page->flags)) {
unsigned long head = READ_ONCE(page[1].compound_head);
if (head & 1) {
if (head == (unsigned long)page + 1)
==> head page struct
else
==> tail page struct
} else
==> head page struct
}
We can safely access the field of the @page[1] with PG_head because the
@page is a compound page composed with at least two contiguous pages.

We can not really handle non-LRU movable pages in memory failure.
Typically they are balloon, zsmalloc, etc.
Assuming we run into a base (4K) non-LRU movable page, we could reach as
far as identify_page_state(), it should not fall into any category
except me_unknown.
For the non-LRU compound movable pages, they could be taken for
transhuge pages but it's unexpected to split non-LRU movable pages using
split_huge_page_to_list in memory_failure. So we could just simply make
non-LRU movable pages unhandlable to avoid these possible nasty cases.

Patch series "A few fixup patches for memory failure", v2.
This series contains a few patches to fix the race with changing page
compound page, make non-LRU movable pages unhandlable and so on. More
details can be found in the respective changelogs.
There is a race window where we got the compound_head, the hugetlb page
could be freed to buddy, or even changed to another compound page just
before we try to get hwpoison page. Think about the below race window:
CPU 1 CPU 2
memory_failure_hugetlb
struct page *head = compound_head(p);
hugetlb page might be freed to
buddy, or even changed to another
compound page.
get_hwpoison_page -- page is not what we want now...
If this race happens, just bail out. Also MF_MSG_DIFFERENT_PAGE_SIZE is
introduced to record this event.

After successfully obtaining the reference count of the huge page, it is
still necessary to call hwpoison_filter() to make a filter judgement,
otherwise the filter hugepage will be unmaped and the related process
may be killed.

When the hwpoison page meets the filter conditions, it should not be
regarded as successful memory_failure() processing for mce handler, but
should return a distinct value, otherwise mce handler regards the error
page has been identified and isolated, which may lead to calling
set_mce_nospec() to change page attribute, etc.
Here memory_failure() return -EOPNOTSUPP to indicate that the error
event is filtered, mce handler should not take any action for this
situation and hwpoison injector should treat as correct.

We're only intended to deal with the non-Compound page after we split
thp in memory_failure. However, the page could have changed compound
pages due to race window. If this happens, we could retry once to
hopefully handle the page next round. Also remove unneeded orig_head.
It's always equal to the hpage. So we can use hpage directly and remove
this redundant one.

It's unexpected to walk the page table when vma_address() return
-EFAULT. But dev_pagemap_mapping_shift() is called only when vma
associated to the error page is found already in
collect_procs_{file,anon}, so vma_address() should not return -EFAULT
except with some bug, as Naoya pointed out. We can use VM_BUG_ON_VMA()
to catch this bug here.

Sometimes the page offlining code can leave behind a hwpoisoned clean
page cache page. This can lead to programs being killed over and over
and over again as they fault in the hwpoisoned page, get killed, and
then get re-spawned by whatever wanted to run them.
This is particularly embarrassing when the page was offlined due to
having too many corrected memory errors. Now we are killing tasks due
to them trying to access memory that probably isn't even corrupted.
This problem can be avoided by invalidating the page from the page fault
handler, which already has a branch for dealing with these kinds of
pages. With this patch we simply pretend the page fault was successful
if the page was invalidated, return to userspace, incur another page
fault, read in the file from disk (to a new memory page), and then
everything works again.

When an uncorrected memory error is consumed there is a race between the
CMCI from the memory controller reporting an uncorrected error with a
UCNA signature, and the core reporting and SRAR signature machine check
when the data is about to be consumed.
If the CMCI wins that race, the page is marked poisoned when
uc_decode_notifier() calls memory_failure() and the machine check
processing code finds the page already poisoned. It calls
kill_accessing_process() to make sure a SIGBUS is sent. But returns the
wrong error code.
Console log looks like this:
mce: Uncorrected hardware memory error in user-access at 3710b3400
Memory failure: 0x3710b3: recovery action for dirty LRU page: Recovered
Memory failure: 0x3710b3: already hardware poisoned
Memory failure: 0x3710b3: Sending SIGBUS to einj_mem_uc:361438 due to hardware memory corruption
mce: Memory error not recovered
kill_accessing_process() is supposed to return -EHWPOISON to notify that
SIGBUS is already set to the process and kill_me_maybe() doesn't have to
send it again. But current code simply fails to do this, so fix it to
make sure to work as intended. This change avoids the noise message
"Memory error not recovered" and skips duplicate SIGBUSs.

For high order pages not using pcp, rmqueue() is currently calling the
costly check_new_pages() while zone spinlock is held, and hard irqs
masked.
This is not needed, we can release the spinlock sooner to reduce zone
spinlock contention.
Note that after this patch, we call __mod_zone_freepage_state() before
deciding to leak the page because it is in bad state.

When page allocation in direct reclaim path fails, the system will make
one attempt to shrink per-cpu page lists and free pages from high alloc
reserves. Draining per-cpu pages into buddy allocator can be a very
slow operation because it's done using workqueues and the task in direct
reclaim waits for all of them to finish before proceeding. Currently
this time is not accounted as psi memory stall.
While testing mobile devices under extreme memory pressure, when
allocations are failing during direct reclaim, we notices that psi
events which would be expected in such conditions were not triggered.
After profiling these cases it was determined that the reason for
missing psi events was that a big chunk of time spent in direct reclaim
is not accounted as memory stall, therefore psi would not reach the
levels at which an event is generated. Further investigation revealed
that the bulk of that unaccounted time was spent inside drain_all_pages
call.
A typical captured case when drain_all_pages path gets activated:
__alloc_pages_slowpath took 44.644.613ns
__perform_reclaim took 751.668ns (1.7%)
drain_all_pages took 43.887.167ns (98.3%)
PSI in this case records the time spent in __perform_reclaim but ignores
drain_all_pages, IOW it misses 98.3% of the time spent in
__alloc_pages_slowpath.
Annotate __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim in its entirety so that delays
from handling page allocation failure in the direct reclaim path are
accounted as memory stall.

On x86, prior to ("mm: handle uninitialized numa nodes gracecully"), NUMA
nodes could be allocated at three different places.
- numa_register_memblks
- init_cpu_to_node
- init_gi_nodes
All these calls happen at setup_arch, and have the following order:
setup_arch
...
x86_numa_init
numa_init
numa_register_memblks
...
init_cpu_to_node
init_memory_less_node
alloc_node_data
free_area_init_memoryless_node
init_gi_nodes
init_memory_less_node
alloc_node_data
free_area_init_memoryless_node
numa_register_memblks() is only interested in those nodes which have
memory, so it skips over any memoryless node it founds. Later on, when
we have read ACPI's SRAT table, we call init_cpu_to_node() and
init_gi_nodes(), which initialize any memoryless node we might have that
have either CPU or Initiator affinity, meaning we allocate pg_data_t
struct for them and we mark them as ONLINE.
So far so good, but the thing is that after ("mm: handle uninitialized
numa nodes gracefully"), we allocate all possible NUMA nodes in
free_area_init(), meaning we have a picture like the following:
setup_arch
x86_numa_init
numa_init
numa_register_memblks <-- allocate non-memoryless node
x86_init.paging.pagetable_init
...
free_area_init
free_area_init_memoryless <-- allocate memoryless node
init_cpu_to_node
alloc_node_data <-- allocate memoryless node with CPU
free_area_init_memoryless_node
init_gi_nodes
alloc_node_data <-- allocate memoryless node with Initiator
free_area_init_memoryless_node
free_area_init() already allocates all possible NUMA nodes, but
init_cpu_to_node() and init_gi_nodes() are clueless about that, so they
go ahead and allocate a new pg_data_t struct without checking anything,
meaning we end up allocating twice.
It should be mad clear that this only happens in the case where
memoryless NUMA node happens to have a CPU/Initiator affinity.
So get rid of init_memory_less_node() and just set the node online.
Note that setting the node online is needed, otherwise we choke down the
chain when bringup_nonboot_cpus() ends up calling
__try_online_node()->register_one_node()->... and we blow up in
bus_add_device(). As can be seen here:

The reason is simple, by the time bringup_nonboot_cpus() gets called, we
did not register the node_subsys bus yet, so we crash when
bus_add_device() tries to dereference bus()->p.
The following shows the order of the calls:
kernel_init_freeable
smp_init
bringup_nonboot_cpus
...
bus_add_device() <- we did not register node_subsys yet
do_basic_setup
do_initcalls
postcore_initcall(register_node_type);
register_node_type
subsys_system_register
subsys_register
bus_register <- register node_subsys bus
Why setting the node online saves us then? Well, simply because
__try_online_node() backs off when the node is online, meaning we do not
end up calling register_one_node() in the first place.
This is subtle, broken and deserves a deep analysis and thought about
how to put this into shape, but for now let us have this easy fix for
the leaking memory issue.

free_pcppages_bulk() has taken two passes through the pcp lists since
commit 0a5f4e5b45 ("mm/free_pcppages_bulk: do not hold lock when
picking pages to free") due to deferring the cost of selecting PCP lists
until the zone lock is held.
As the list processing now takes place under the zone lock, it's less
clear that this will always benefit for two reasons.
1. There is a guaranteed cost to calculating the buddy which definitely
has to be calculated again. However, as the zone lock is held and
there is no deferring of buddy merging, there is no guarantee that the
prefetch will have completed when the second buddy calculation takes
place and buddies are being merged. With or without the prefetch, there
may be further stalls depending on how many pages get merged. In other
words, a stall due to merging is inevitable and at best only one stall
might be avoided at the cost of calculating the buddy location twice.
2. As the zone lock is held, prefetch_nr makes less sense as once
prefetch_nr expires, the cache lines of interest have already been
merged.
The main concern is that there is a definite cost to calculating the
buddy location early for the prefetch and it is a "maybe win" depending
on whether the CPU prefetch logic and memory is fast enough. Remove the
prefetch logic on the basis that reduced instructions in a path is
always a saving where as the prefetch might save one memory stall
depending on the CPU and memory.
In most cases, this has marginal benefit as the calculations are a small

When a PCP is mostly used for frees then high-order pages can exist on
PCP lists for some time. This is problematic when the allocation
pattern is all allocations from one CPU and all frees from another
resulting in colder pages being used. When bulk freeing pages, limit
the number of high-order pages that are stored on the PCP lists.
Netperf running on localhost exhibits this pattern and while it does not
matter for some machines, it does matter for others with smaller caches
where cache misses cause problems due to reduced page reuse. Pages
freed directly to the buddy list may be reused quickly while still cache
hot where as storing on the PCP lists may be cold by the time
free_pcppages_bulk() is called.
Using perf kmem:mm_page_alloc, the 5 most used page frames were

The spread is wider as there is still time before pages freed to one PCP
get released with a tradeoff between fast reuse and reduced zone lock
acquisition.
On the machine used to gather the traces, the headline performance was
equivalent.

Note that this was a machine that did not benefit from caching high-order
pages and performance is almost restored with the series applied. It's
not fully restored as cache misses are still higher. This is a trade-off
between optimising for a workload that does all allocs on one CPU and
frees on another or more general workloads that need high-order pages for
SLUB and benefit from avoiding zone->lock for every SLUB refill/drain.

Prior to the series, pindex 0 (order-0 MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE) was always
skipped first and the precise reason is forgotten. A potential reason
may have been to artificially preserve MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE but there is no
reason why that would be optimal as it depends on the workload. The
more likely reason is that it was less complicated to do a pre-increment
instead of a post-increment in terms of overall code flow. As
free_pcppages_bulk() now typically receives the pindex of the PCP list
that exceeded high, always start draining that list.

free_pcppages_bulk() selects pages to free by round-robining between
lists. Originally this was to evenly shrink pages by migratetype but
uneven freeing is inevitable due to high pages. Simplify list selection
by starting with a list that definitely has pages on it in
free_unref_page_commit() and for drain, it does not matter where
draining starts as all pages are removed.

Patch series "Follow-up on high-order PCP caching", v2.
Commit 44042b4498 ("mm/page_alloc: allow high-order pages to be stored
on the per-cpu lists") was primarily aimed at reducing the cost of SLUB
cache refills of high-order pages in two ways. Firstly, zone lock
acquisitions was reduced and secondly, there were fewer buddy list
modifications. This is a follow-up series fixing some issues that
became apparant after merging.
Patch 1 is a functional fix. It's harmless but inefficient.
Patches 2-5 reduce the overhead of bulk freeing of PCP pages. While the
overhead is small, it's cumulative and noticable when truncating large
files. The changelog for patch 4 includes results of a microbench that
deletes large sparse files with data in page cache. Sparse files were
used to eliminate filesystem overhead.
Patch 6 addresses issues with high-order PCP pages being stored on PCP
lists for too long. Pages freed on a CPU potentially may not be quickly
reused and in some cases this can increase cache miss rates. Details
are included in the changelog.
This patch (of 6):
free_pcppages_bulk() prefetches buddies about to be freed but the order
must also be passed in as PCP lists store multiple orders.

ZONE_MOVABLE uses the remaining memory in each node. Its starting pfn
is also aligned to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. It is possible for the remaining
memory in a node to be less than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES, meaning there is
not enough room for ZONE_MOVABLE on that node.
Unfortunately this condition is not checked for. This leads to
zone_movable_pfn[] getting set to a pfn greater than the last pfn in a
node.
calculate_node_totalpages() then sets zone->present_pages to be greater
than zone->spanned_pages which is invalid, as spanned_pages represents
the maximum number of pages in a zone assuming no holes.
Subsequently it is possible free_area_init_core() will observe a zone of
size zero with present pages. In this case it will skip setting up the
zone, including the initialisation of free_lists[].
However populated_zone() checks zone->present_pages to see if a zone has
memory available. This is used by iterators such as
walk_zones_in_node(). pagetypeinfo_showfree() uses this to walk the
free_list of each zone in each node, which are assumed to be initialised
due to the zone not being empty.
As free_area_init_core() never initialised the free_lists[] this results
in the following kernel crash when trying to read /proc/pagetypeinfo:

Commit 9983a9d577 ("locking/local_lock: Make the empty local_lock_*()

functions into macros, which causes a warning with clang with

static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct pagesets, pagesets) = {
^
1 error generated.
Prior to that change, clang was not able to tell that pagesets was
unused in this configuration because it does not perform cross function
analysis in the frontend. After that change, it sees that the macros
just do a typecheck on the lock member of pagesets, which is evaluated
at compile time (so the variable is technically "used"), meaning the
variable is not needed in the final assembly, as the warning states.
Mark the variable as __maybe_unused to make it clear to clang that this
is expected in this configuration so there is no more warning.

Some places in the kernel don't really expect pageblock_order >=
MAX_ORDER, and it looks like this is only possible in corner cases:
1) CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT we'll end up freeing pageblock_order
pages via __free_pages_core(), which cannot possibly work.
2) find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes() will roundup the ZONE_MOVABLE
start PFN to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. Consequently with a bigger
pageblock_order, we could have a single pageblock partially managed by
two zones.
3) compaction code runs into __fragmentation_index() with order
>= MAX_ORDER, when checking WARN_ON_ONCE(order >= MAX_ORDER). [1]
4) mm/page_reporting.c won't be reporting any pages with default
page_reporting_order == pageblock_order, as we'll be skipping the
reporting loop inside page_reporting_process_zone().
5) __rmqueue_fallback() will never be able to steal with
ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT.
pageblock_order >= MAX_ORDER is weird either way: it's a pure
optimization for making alloc_contig_range(), as used for allcoation of
gigantic pages, a little more reliable to succeed. However, if there is
demand for somewhat reliable allocation of gigantic pages, affected
setups should be using CMA or boottime allocations instead.
So let's make sure that pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER and simplify.

Patch series "mm: enforce pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER".
Having pageblock_order >= MAX_ORDER seems to be able to happen in corner
cases and some parts of the kernel are not prepared for it.
For example, Aneesh has shown [1] that such kernels can be compiled on
ppc64 with 64k base pages by setting FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER=8, which will
run into a WARN_ON_ONCE(order >= MAX_ORDER) in comapction code right
during boot.
We can get pageblock_order >= MAX_ORDER when the default hugetlb size is
bigger than the maximum allocation granularity of the buddy, in which
case we are no longer talking about huge pages but instead gigantic
pages.
Having pageblock_order >= MAX_ORDER can only make alloc_contig_range()
of such gigantic pages more likely to succeed.
Reliable use of gigantic pages either requires boot time allcoation or
CMA, no need to overcomplicate some places in the kernel to optimize for
corner cases that are broken in other areas of the kernel.
This patch (of 2):
Let's enforce pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER and simplify.
Especially patch #1 can be regarded a cleanup before:
