Help text

The page block order refers to the power of two number of pages that are physically contiguous and can have a migrate type associated to them. The maximum size of the page block order is at least limited by ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER/MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

This config adds a new upper limit of default page block order when the page block order is required to be smaller than ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER/MAX_PAGE_ORDER or other limits (see include/linux/pageblock-flags.h for details).

Reducing pageblock order can negatively impact THP generation success rate. If your workloads use THP heavily, please use this option with caution.

Don't change if unsure.
