This looks to be true on inspection:

__alloc_pages():
..
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP(order >= MAX_ORDER, gfp))

So a bit of a misleading name "max".. For the i915 patch:

Acked-by: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@xxxxxxxxx>

I don't however see the whole series to understand the context, or how you
want to handle the individual patches. Is it a tree wide cleanup of the same
mistake?

The whole patchset can be seen here:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230315113133.11326-1-kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

The idea is to fix all MAX_ORDER bugs first and then re-define MAX_ORDER
more sensibly.

Sounds good.

Would you like i915 to take this patch or you will be bringing the whole lot via some other route? Former is okay and latter should also be fine for i915 since I don't envisage any conflicts here.

Regards,

Tvrtko
