Subject: CVE-2024-42243: mm/filemap: make MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER acceptable to xarray

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

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

mm/filemap: make MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER acceptable to xarray

Patch series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported by
xarray", v2.

Currently, xarray can't support arbitrary page cache size.  More details
can be found from the WARN_ON() statement in xas_split_alloc().  In our
test whose code is attached below, we hit the WARN_ON() on ARM64 system
where the base page size is 64KB and huge page size is 512MB.  The issue
was reported long time ago and some discussions on it can be found here
[1].

[1] https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-xfs/msg75404.html

In order to fix the issue, we need to adjust MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER to one
supported by xarray and avoid PMD-sized page cache if needed.  The code
changes are suggested by David Hildenbrand.

PATCH[1] adjusts MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER to that supported by xarray
PATCH[2-3] avoids PMD-sized page cache in the synchronous readahead path
PATCH[4] avoids PMD-sized page cache for shmem files if needed

This patch (of 4):

The largest page cache order can be HPAGE_PMD_ORDER (13) on ARM64 with
64KB base page size.  The xarray entry with this order can't be split as
the following error messages indicate.

Fix it by decreasing MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER to the largest supported order
by xarray. For this specific case, MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER is dropped from
13 to 11 when CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is disabled.

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:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a0c42ddd0969fdc760a85e20e267776028a7ca4e
