However, not only is it unwise to use a literal value here, but MAX_ORDER may also be configurable based on CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER. Let's use KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE instead. Note that prior commit bb1107f7c605 ("mm, slab: make sure that KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE will fit into MAX_ORDER") the KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE value could not be relied upon.
