Subject: Re: [PATCH] mm/hugetlb: align cma on allocation order, not demotion order

Note that this applies on top of:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240404162515.527802-2-fvdl@google.com/

.which is in mm-stable right now. It's not a fixup of that patch,
though, it's a separate issue. Although they could be combined in to a
"fix arguments to cma_declare_contiguous_nid" commit.
