Vulnerability from github
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).
