The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/hugetlb: pass correct order_per_bit to cma_declare_contiguous_nid
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-hugetlb-pass-correct-order_per_bit-to-cma_declare_contiguous_nid.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/hugetlb: pass correct order_per_bit to cma_declare_contiguous_nid
Date: Thu, 4 Apr 2024 16:25:15 +0000

The hugetlb_cma code passes 0 in the order_per_bit argument to
cma_declare_contiguous_nid (the alignment, computed using the page order,
is correctly passed in).

This causes a bit in the cma allocation bitmap to always represent a 4k
page, making the bitmaps potentially very large, and slower.

It would create bitmaps that would be pretty big.  E.g.  for a 4k page
size on x86, hugetlb_cma=64G would mean a bitmap size of (64G / 4k) / 8
== 2M.  With HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER as order_per_bit, as intended, this
would be (64G / 2M) / 8 == 4k.  So, that's quite a difference.

Also, this restricted the hugetlb_cma area to ((PAGE_SIZE <<
MAX_PAGE_ORDER) * 8) * PAGE_SIZE (e.g.  128G on x86) , since
bitmap_alloc uses normal page allocation, and is thus restricted by
MAX_PAGE_ORDER.  Specifying anything about that would fail the CMA
initialization.

So, correctly pass in the order instead.
