+ The page block order refers to the power of two number of pages that
+ are physically contiguous and can have a migrate type associated to
+ them. The maximum size of the page block order is limited by
+ ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER.
+
+ This config allows overriding the default page block order when the
+ page block order is required to be smaller than ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER
+ or MAX_PAGE_ORDER.
+
+ Reducing pageblock order can negatively impact THP generation
+ success rate. If your workloads uses THP heavily, please use this
+ option with caution.
+
+ Don't change if unsure.
