Commit fc4444941140 ("scsi: mpi3mr: HDB allocation and posting for hardware
and firmware buffers") added mpi3mr_alloc_diag_bufs() which calls
dma_alloc_coherent() to allocate the trace buffer and the firmware
buffer. mpi3mr_alloc_diag_bufs() decides the buffer sizes from the driver
configuration. In my environment, the sizes are 8MB. With the sizes,
dma_alloc_coherent() fails and report this WARNING:
WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 438 at mm/page_alloc.c:4676 __alloc_pages_noprof+0x52f/0x640
The WARNING indicates that the order of the allocation size is larger than
MAX_PAGE_ORDER. After this failure, mpi3mr_alloc_diag_bufs() reduces the
buffer sizes and retries dma_alloc_coherent(). In the end, the buffer
allocations succeed with 4MB size in my environment, which corresponds to
MAX_PAGE_ORDER=10. Though the allocations succeed, the WARNING message is
misleading and should be avoided.
To avoid the WARNING, check the orders of the buffer allocation sizes
before calling dma_alloc_coherent(). If the orders are larger than
MAX_PAGE_ORDER, fall back to the retry path.
