A while loop is used to adjust the new_order to be lower than the ra->size. ilog2 could be used to do the same instead of using a loop. ilog2 typically resolves to a bit scan reverse instruction. This is particularly useful when ra->size is smaller than the 2^new_order as it resolves in one instruction instead of looping to find the new_order. No functional changes.

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 Restructured Text 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.
