- The kernel memory allocator divides physically contiguous memory
- blocks into "zones", where each zone is a power of two number of
- pages. This option selects the largest power of two that the kernel
- keeps in the memory allocator. If you need to allocate very large
- blocks of physically contiguous memory, then you may need to
- increase this value.
-
- This config option is actually maximum order plus one. For example,
- a value of 11 means that the largest free memory block is 2^10 pages.
+ The kernel page allocator limits the size of maximal physically
+ contiguous allocations. The limit is called MAX_ORDER and it
+ defines the maximal power of two of number of pages that can be
+ allocated as a single contiguous block. This option allows
+ overriding the default setting when ability to allocate very
+ large blocks of physically contiguous memory is required.
+
+ Don't change if unsure.
