Subject: [PATCH] mm/memblock:use a more appropriate order calculation when free memblock pages
Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2020 23:23:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201203152311.5272-1-carver4lio@163.com> (raw)
From: Hailong Liu <liu.hailong6@zte.com.cn>
When system in the booting stage, pages span from [start, end] of a memblock
are freed to buddy in a order as large as possible (less than MAX_ORDER) at
first, then decrease gradually to a proper order(less than end) in a loop.
However, *min(MAX_ORDER - 1UL, __ffs(start))* can not get the largest order
in some cases.
Instead, *__ffs(end - start)* may be more appropriate and meaningful.
