      powerpc/mm: Reinstate ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER ranges · 358e526a
      Michael Ellerman authored
      Commit 1e8fed87 ("powerpc: drop ranges for definition of
      ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER") removed the limits on the possible values for
      ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER.
      
      However removing the ranges entirely causes some common work flows to
      break. For example building a defconfig (which uses 64K pages), changing
      the page size to 4K, and rebuilding used to work, because
      ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER would be clamped to 12 by the ranges.
      
      With the ranges removed it creates a kernel that builds but crashes at
      boot:
        kernel BUG at mm/huge_memory.c:470!
        Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1]
        ...
        NIP hugepage_init+0x9c/0x278
        LR  do_one_initcall+0x80/0x320
        Call Trace:
          do_one_initcall+0x80/0x320
          kernel_init_freeable+0x304/0x3ac
          kernel_init+0x30/0x1a0
          ret_from_kernel_user_thread+0x14/0x1c
      
      The reasoning for removing the ranges was that some of the values were
      too large. So take that into account and limit the maximums to 10 which
      is the default max, except for the 4K case which uses 12.
      
      Fixes: 1e8fed87 ("powerpc: drop ranges for definition of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER")
