The page block order refers to the power of two number of pages that
are physically contiguous and can have a migrate type associated to
- them. The maximum size of the page block order is limited by
- ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER.
+ them. The maximum size of the page block order is at least limited by
+ ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER/MAX_PAGE_ORDER.
- This config allows overriding the default page block order when the
- page block order is required to be smaller than ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER
- or MAX_PAGE_ORDER.
+ This config adds a new upper limit of default page block
+ order when the page block order is required to be smaller than
+ ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER/MAX_PAGE_ORDER or other limits
+ (see include/linux/pageblock-flags.h for details).
Reducing pageblock order can negatively impact THP generation
success rate. If your workloads use THP heavily, please use this
/* Initialise the number of pages represented by NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS */
void __init set_pageblock_order(void)
{
- unsigned int order = PAGE_BLOCK_ORDER;
