+high_order_alloc_disable
+------------------------
+
+By default the allocator for page frags tries to use high order pages (order-3
+on x86). While the default behavior gives good results in most cases, some users
+might have hit a contention in page allocations/freeing. This was especially
+true on older kernels (< 5.14) when high-order pages were not stored on per-cpu
+lists. This allows to opt-in for order-0 allocation instead but is now mostly of
+historical importance.
