That commit will make "struct mlx5_fw_tracer" too large and trigger a warning in
__alloc_pages_nodemask(),

        /*
         * There are several places where we assume that the order value is sane
         * so bail out early if the request is out of bound.
         */
        if (unlikely(order >= MAX_ORDER)) {
                WARN_ON_ONCE(!(gfp_mask & __GFP_NOWARN));
                return NULL;
