Patch series "Use pageblock_order for cma and alloc_contig_range alignment", v11. This patchset tries to remove the MAX_ORDER-1 alignment requirement for CMA and alloc_contig_range(). It prepares for my upcoming changes to make MAX_ORDER adjustable at boot time[1]. The MAX_ORDER - 1 alignment requirement comes from that alloc_contig_range() isolates pageblocks to remove free memory from buddy allocator but isolating only a subset of pageblocks within a page spanning across multiple pageblocks causes free page accounting issues. Isolated page might not be put into the right free list, since the code assumes the migratetype of the first pageblock as the whole free page migratetype. This is based on the discussion at [2]. To remove the requirement, this patchset: 1. isolates pages at pageblock granularity instead of max(MAX_ORDER_NR_PAEGS, pageblock_nr_pages); 2. splits free pages across the specified range or migrates in-use pages across the specified range then splits the freed page to avoid free page accounting issues (it happens when multiple pageblocks within a single page have different migratetypes); 3. only checks unmovable pages within the range instead of MAX_ORDER - 1 aligned range during isolation to avoid alloc_contig_range() failure when pageblocks within a MAX_ORDER - 1 aligned range are allocated separately. 4. returns pages not in the range as it did before. One optimization might come later: 1. make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a separate bit to be able to restore the original migratetypes when isolation fails in the middle of the range.

Move it from mm/page_alloc.c and make it static.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
