Subject: CVE-2024-41031: mm/filemap: skip to create PMD-sized page cache if needed

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/filemap: skip to create PMD-sized page cache if needed

On ARM64, HPAGE_PMD_ORDER is 13 when the base page size is 64KB.  The
PMD-sized page cache can't be supported by xarray as the following error
messages indicate.

Fix it by skipping to allocate PMD-sized page cache when its size is
larger than MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER.  For this specific case, we will fall to
regular path where the readahead window is determined by BDI's sysfs file
(read_ahead_kb).

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
