The s_mb_best_avail_max_trim_order is of type unsigned int, and has a range of values well beyond the normal use of the mb_order. Although the mballoc code is careful enough that large numbers don't matter there, but this can mislead the sysadmin into thinking that it's normal to set such values. Hence add a new attr_id attr_mb_order with values in the range [0, 64] to avoid storing garbage values and make us more resilient to surprises in the future.

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 reStructuredText 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.
