Same comment, the "MAX_FOLIO_NR_PAGES * sizeof(struct page)" is just black magic here
and the description of the situation is wrong.
Maybe you want to pull the magic "MAX_FOLIO_NR_PAGES * sizeof(struct page)" into the core and call it
#define MAX_FOLIO_VMEMMAP_ALIGN (MAX_FOLIO_NR_PAGES * sizeof(struct page))
But then special case it base on (a) HVO being configured in an (b) HVO being possible
#ifdef HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP && is_power_of_2(sizeof(struct page)
/* A very helpful comment explaining the situation. */
#define MAX_FOLIO_VMEMMAP_ALIGN (MAX_FOLIO_NR_PAGES * sizeof(struct page))
#else
#define MAX_FOLIO_VMEMMAP_ALIGN 0
#endif
Something like that.
