Opportunistically attempt to allocate high-order folios in highmem, optionally zeroed. Retry with lower orders all the way to order-0, until success. Although, of note, order-1 allocations are skipped since a large folio must be at least order-2 to work with the THP machinery. The user must check what they got with folio_order(). This will be used to oportunistically allocate large folios for anonymous memory with a sensible fallback under memory pressure. For attempts to allocate non-0 orders, we set __GFP_NORETRY to prevent high latency due to reclaim, instead preferring to just try for a lower order. The same approach is used by the readahead code when allocating large folios.
