From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" <rppt@kernel.org> It is not a good idea to change fundamental parameters of core memory management. Having predefined ranges suggests that the values within those ranges are sensible, but one has to *really* understand implications of changing MAX_ORDER before actually amending it and ranges don't help here. Drop ranges in definition of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER and make its prompt visible only if EXPERT=y Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport (IBM) <rppt@kernel.org> --- arch/arm64/Kconfig | 4 +--- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-)
