Hi, everyone

I wish to expand the limit for allocating contiguous memory in kernel. So, if I change the value CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER or MAX_ORDER value in /include/linux/mmzone.h,
will it cause any problem or side effect in x86_64 sysem?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
J.Hwan Kim

Recently Contiguous memory allocator got merged into 3.5 Kernel you can use the same to declare as much contiguous memory needed.
