Hello, In my quest to get the kernel to allocate a contiguous 4098kB chunk of memory (for a large framebuffer), I found out that the MAX_ORDER macro was the reason memory allocation failed (4098kB -> 8192kB = order 11). So I raised MAX_ORDER to 12 and allocation succeeds. My question now is, what is the significance of the value 11 assigned to MAX_ORDER? Is it safe to change it?
