When performing an allocation we try split it down into the largest possible power-of-two blocks/pages-sizes, and for the common case we expect to allocate the blocks in descending order. This also naturally fits with our GTT alignment tricks(including the hugepages selftest), where we sometimes try to align to the largest possible GTT page-size for the allocation, in the hope that translates to bigger GTT page-sizes. Currently, we seem to incorrectly add the blocks in the opposite order, which is definitely not the intended behaviour.

README
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.
