> v2: I fixed the logic error in v1, pointed by Jason Wang:
> In v1: in the case of partially-allocated 2MB, alloc_error is true,
> so we'll run "done = true" and hence we won't proceed with
> the next iteration of trying 4K allocation.

> I also changed the WARN_ON to WARN_ON_ONCE in case the host
> behavior
> changes in the future.
