arm64/mm: Drop THP conditionality from FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 79cc2ed upstream

Currently without THP being enabled, MAX_ORDER via FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER gets
reduced to 11, which falls below HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER for certain 16K and 64K
page size configurations. This is problematic which throws up the following
warning during boot as pageblock_order via HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER order exceeds
MAX_ORDER.

This solves the problem via keeping FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER unchanged with or
without THP on 16K and 64K page size configurations, making sure that the
HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER (and pageblock_order) would never exceed MAX_ORDER.
