    Subject[ 55/70] mm: setup pageblock_order before its used by sparsemem
    3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Xishi Qiu <qiuxishi@huawei.com>

    commit ca57df79d4f64e1a4886606af4289d40636189c5 upstream.

    On architectures with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE set, such as
    Itanium, pageblock_order is a variable with default value of 0. It's set
    to the right value by set_pageblock_order() in function
    free_area_init_core().

    But pageblock_order may be used by sparse_init() before free_area_init_core()
    is called along path:
    sparse_init()
    ->sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node()
    ->usemap_size()
    ->SECTION_BLOCKFLAGS_BITS
    ->((1UL << (PFN_SECTION_SHIFT - pageblock_order)) *
    NR_PAGEBLOCK_BITS)

    The uninitialized pageblock_size will cause memory wasting because
    usemap_size() returns a much bigger value then it's really needed.

    For example, on an Itanium platform,
    sparse_init() pageblock_order=0 usemap_size=24576
    free_area_init_core() before pageblock_order=0, usemap_size=24576
    free_area_init_core() after pageblock_order=12, usemap_size=8

    That means 24K memory has been wasted for each section, so fix it by calling
    set_pageblock_order() from sparse_init().
