What is MAX_PAGE_ORDER value on x86-64?

The "fallback value" is 10 (right?) so kmalloc() can allocate at max 2**22 bytes i.e. 4 MB I guess, unless MAX_PAGE_ORDER is larger.

@vbabka yeah, I just got a bug report that I'm trying to purge, so doing some fact checking and I might easily miss a definition :-) Thank you.

@vbabka any case even with 4 MB everything seems wrong (or firmware bug most likely). Also, I need to check if I have luck getting a login working for suse bugzilla :-)

more like 4k (or actually less than that) than 4 MB...

Not only SUSE problem tho. Red Hat has like 3-4 different types of accounts. I don't get this. Fucking horror to create any account for any distribution.

Optimally there would only one account ever. Even like if you are employee at some point it could be just a cap of some sort... Even that does not require a separate account. OK maybe 2x (community and "enterprise" for employees).
