Hi guys,
did you pick a brand new super name here? :)
i'm eagerly anticipating seeing it. :)

Table is allocated via __get_free_pages which allocates
continuous regions of phys mem and large order allocations
are very likely to fail - which was observed in the issue.
To address this limit the allocation order to 5.

Sorry in advance for picking on words...
Nothing to be sorry of, words are important here if we want to define it
properly - picking them right is hard and leaving the 5 as a number was
due to this exact reason.
I'd personally call it NEIGH_HASH_SHIFT_MAX /
NEIGH_HASH_(SHIFT_)GROW_LIMIT. GFP_SAFEZONE_LIMIT is to general (can
intersect with something elsewhere) and does not represent it's real
cause here.
It is a limit coming from GFP not from NEIGH, so naming it
NEIGH_*_MAX/LIMIT is misleading for me.
Limit is due to GFP can't handle >11 order, yes, but it limits neigh
hash table growth to 5-th order. I prefer naming the limit for WHAT it
limits and not for WHY it limits it.
Also GFP_IN_SAFEZONE() is not perfect too, as it returns true for
{0,1,2,3,4} but not 5, though 5 is actually allowed as we give
hash_shift+1 to neigh_hash_grow.
Maybe just:
if (nht->hash_shift < NEIGH_HASH_SHIFT_MAX &&
atomic_read(&tbl->entries) > (1 << nht->hash_shift))
or:
#define NEIGH_HASH_SHIFT_MAX 5
#define NEIGH_HASH_GROW(x) ((x) < NEIGH_HASH_SHIFT_MAX)
if (NEIGH_HASH_GROW(nht->hash_shift)....
This adds more indirection and makes it harder to read - does not ease
the reader with the answer of WHAT is checked and WHY?
GFP_SAFE_THRESHOLD may be , i will think of a better name since neither
is good enough.
As I said, WHY it limits should not be important for limit naming, if we
have some limit we name it for WHAT it limits and put WHY in comments.
