Subject: mm/filemap: skip to create PMD-sized page cache if needed
Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2024 10:39:51 +1000

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).
