MAX_ORDER should be as high as would be required for the current config. Unless THP is enabled, there is no need for it to be any higher than 11. But I might be missing historical reasons around this as well. Probably others from arm64 could help here. > > Meaning: are there any real use cases that actually build a kernel without > TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE and with ARM64_64K_PAGES/ARM64_16K_PAGES? THP is always optional. Besides kernel builds without THP should always be supported. Assuming that all builds will have THP enabled, might not be accurate. > > As builds are essentially broken, I assume this is not that relevant? Or how > long has it been broken? Git blame shows that it's been there for some time now. But how does that make this irrelevant ? A problem should be fixed nonetheless. > > It might be easier to just drop the "TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE" part from the > FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER config. > Not sure if it would be a good idea to unnecessarily have larger MAX_ORDER value for a given config. But I might be missing other contexts here. _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
