From 1f789a45c3f1aa77531db21768fca70b66c0eeb1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gavin Shan gshan@redhat.com Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2024 10:39:50 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] mm/readahead: limit page cache size in page_cache_ra_order()

In page_cache_ra_order(), the maximal order of the page cache to be allocated shouldn't be larger than MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER. Otherwise, it's possible the large page cache can't be supported by xarray when the corresponding xarray entry is split.

For example, HPAGE_PMD_ORDER is 13 on ARM64 when the base page size is 64KB. The PMD-sized page cache can't be supported by xarray.
