Subject: [PATCH] mm/mm_init: fix hash table order logging in
alloc_large_system_hash()
When emitting the order of the allocation for a hash table,
alloc_large_system_hash() unconditionally subtracts PAGE_SHIFT from log
base 2 of the allocation size. This is not correct if the allocation size
is smaller than a page, and yields a negative value for the order as seen
below:
TCP established hash table entries: 32 (order: -4, 256 bytes, linear) TCP
bind hash table entries: 32 (order: -2, 1024 bytes, linear)
Use get_order() to compute the order when emitting the hash table
information to correctly handle cases where the allocation size is smaller
than a page:
TCP established hash table entries: 32 (order: 0, 256 bytes, linear) TCP
bind hash table entries: 32 (order: 0, 1024 bytes, linear)
