Shin'ichiro Kawasaki 8c6b808c8c scsi: mpi3mr: Avoid MAX_PAGE_ORDER WARNING for buffer allocations 
Commit fc44449411 ("scsi: mpi3mr: HDB allocation and posting for hardware
and firmware buffers") added mpi3mr_alloc_diag_bufs() which calls
dma_alloc_coherent() to allocate the trace buffer and the firmware
buffer. mpi3mr_alloc_diag_bufs() decides the buffer sizes from the driver
configuration. In my environment, the sizes are 8MB. With the sizes,
dma_alloc_coherent() fails and report this WARNING:

    WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 438 at mm/page_alloc.c:4676 __alloc_pages_noprof+0x52f/0x640

The WARNING indicates that the order of the allocation size is larger than
MAX_PAGE_ORDER. After this failure, mpi3mr_alloc_diag_bufs() reduces the
buffer sizes and retries dma_alloc_coherent(). In the end, the buffer
allocations succeed with 4MB size in my environment, which corresponds to
MAX_PAGE_ORDER=10. Though the allocations succeed, the WARNING message is
misleading and should be avoided.

To avoid the WARNING, check the orders of the buffer allocation sizes
before calling dma_alloc_coherent(). If the orders are larger than
MAX_PAGE_ORDER, fall back to the retry path.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
