If so, maybe it would be more straightforward to limit the max order on a per-pool basis depending upon its size?More importantly, it is because pages outside of the pool are not guaranteed to be covered by the hyp_vmemmap, so I really need to make sure I don't dereference them.Wouldn't having a per-pool max order help with that?The issue is, I have no alignment guarantees for the pools, so I may end up with max_order = 0 ...
Yeah, so you would still need the range tracking, but it would at least help to reduce HYP_MAX_ORDER failed searches each time. Still, we can always do that later.
