The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/filemap: make MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER acceptable to xarray has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-filemap-make-max_pagecache_order-acceptable-to-xarray.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
------------------------------------------------------ From: Gavin Shan gshan@redhat.com Subject: mm/filemap: make MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER acceptable to xarray Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2024 10:39:49 +1000
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.
