CVE-2024-41031

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel related to how large page caching is handled, particularly for AMD64 architectures. The issue stems from the xarray data structure's inability to support PMD-sized page caches when the base page size is larger than MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER. The particular configuration on ARM64 architectures can potentially lead to untenable resource allocation and system crashes when large pages are manipulated.
