CVE-2024-41031 is a Linux kernel memory-management flaw in mm/filemap affecting ARM64 systems configured with 64 KB base pages. In this configuration, the PMD huge-page order is 13, and mm/filemap can attempt to create a PMD-sized page-cache entry that exceeds the maximum order supported by the xarray implementation. The condition can trigger an xarray allocation warning during huge-page splitting and page-cache truncation, including activity reached through XFS file-allocation operations. The upstream fix prevents creation of PMD-sized page-cache entries when their size exceeds MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER and uses the normal readahead path instead.
