The 'max_avail' value is calculated from the system memory
size using order_base_2().
order_base_2(x) is defined as '(x) ? fn(x) : 0'.
The compiler generates two copies of the code that follows
and then expands clamp(max, min, PAGE_SHIFT - 12) (11 on 32bit).
This triggers a compile-time assert since min is 5.
In reality a system would have to have less than 512MB memory
for the bounds passed to clamp to be reversed.
Swap the order of the arguments to clamp() to avoid the warning.
Replace the clamp_val() on the line below with clamp().
clamp_val() is just 'an accident waiting to happen' and not needed here.
Detected by compile time checks added to clamp(), specifically:
minmax.h: use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() for the lo < hi test in clamp()

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.
