Dragos Tatulea a334faf13e page_pool: Clamp pool size to max 16K pages
[ Upstream commit a1b501a8c6a87c9265fd03bd004035199e2e8128 ]

page_pool_init() returns E2BIG when the page_pool size goes above 32K
pages. As some drivers are configuring the page_pool size according to
the MTU and ring size, there are cases where this limit is exceeded and
the queue creation fails.

The page_pool size doesn't have to cover a full queue, especially for
larger ring size. So clamp the size instead of returning an error. Do
this in the core to avoid having each driver do the clamping.

The current limit was deemed to high [1] so it was reduced to 16K to avoid
page waste.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
