+/**
|
|
|
+ * get_order - Determine the allocation order of a memory size
|
|
|
+ * @size: The size for which to get the order
|
|
|
+ *
|
|
|
+ * Determine the allocation order of a particular sized block of memory. This
|
|
|
+ * is on a logarithmic scale, where:
|
|
|
+ *
|
|
|
+ * 0 -> 2^0 * PAGE_SIZE and below
|
|
|
+ * 1 -> 2^1 * PAGE_SIZE to 2^0 * PAGE_SIZE + 1
|
|
|
+ * 2 -> 2^2 * PAGE_SIZE to 2^1 * PAGE_SIZE + 1
|
|
|
+ * 3 -> 2^3 * PAGE_SIZE to 2^2 * PAGE_SIZE + 1
|
|
|
+ * 4 -> 2^4 * PAGE_SIZE to 2^3 * PAGE_SIZE + 1
|
|
|
+ * ...
|
|
|
+ *
|
|
|
+ * The order returned is used to find the smallest allocation granule required
|
|
|
+ * to hold an object of the specified size.
|
|
|
+ *
|
|
|
+ * The result is undefined if the size is 0.
|
|
|
+ *
|
|
|
+ * This function may be used to initialise variables with compile time
|
|
|
+ * evaluations of constants.
