When emitting the order of the allocation for a hash table, alloc_large_system_hash() unconditionally subtracts PAGE_SHIFT from log base 2 of the allocation size. This is not correct if the allocation size is smaller than a page, and yields a negative value for the order as seen below:
TCP established hash table entries: 32 (order: -4, 256 bytes, linear) TCP bind hash table entries: 32 (order: -2, 1024 bytes, linear)
Use get_order() to compute the order when emitting the hash table information to correctly handle cases where the allocation size is smaller than a page:
TCP established hash table entries: 32 (order: 0, 256 bytes, linear) TCP bind hash table entries: 32 (order: 0, 1024 bytes, linear)
