Linux kernel stable tree

Using order 4 pages would be helpful for IOMMUs mapping, but trying to get
order 4 pages could spend quite much time in the page allocation. From
the perspective of responsiveness, the deterministic memory allocation
speed, I think, is quite important.
The order 4 allocation with __GFP_RECLAIM may spend much time in reclaim
and compation logic. __GFP_NORETRY also may affect. These cause
unpredictable delay.
To get reasonable allocation speed from dma-buf system heap, use
HIGH_ORDER_GFP for order 4 to avoid reclaim. And let me remove
meaningless __GFP_COMP for order 0.
According to my tests, order 4 with MID_ORDER_GFP could get more number
of order 4 pages but the elapsed times could be very slow.

If HIGH_ORDER_GFP is used for order 4, the number of order 4 could be
decreased but the elapsed time results were quite stable and fast enough.

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.
