Revision fd1f87d24d492fda464bedf10a5dd5174ff9b065 authored by KOSAKI Motohiro on 31 May 2012, 23:26:31 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 01 June 2012, 00:49:31 UTC
KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE is not a good threshold.  It is extremely high and
problematic.  Unfortunately, some silly drivers depend on this and we
can't change it.  But any new code needn't use such extreme ugly high
order allocations.  It brings us awful fragmentation issues and system
slowdown.
