The initial chunk size for host memory buffer allocation is currently PAGE_SIZE << MAX_ORDER. MAX_ORDER order allocation is usually failed without CONFIG_DMA_CMA. So the HMB allocation is retried with chunk size PAGE_SIZE << (MAX_ORDER - 1) in general, but there is no problem if the retry allocation works correctly.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
