    powerpc/mm: Update FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER range to allow hugetlb w/4K · d5a1e42c
    Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
    For hugetlb to work with 4K page size, we need MAX_ORDER to be 13 or
    more. When switching from a 64K page size to 4K linux page size using
    make oldconfig, we end up with a CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER value of 9.
    This results in a 16M hugepage beiing considered as a gigantic huge page
    which in turn results in failure to setup hugepages if gigantic hugepage
    support is not enabled.
    
    This also results in kernel crash with 4K radix configuration. We
    hit the below BUG_ON on radix:
