In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64/sme: Set new vector length before reallocating
As part of fixing the allocation of the buffer for SVE state when changing

this is also done when changing the SVE vector length for consistency.
Unfortunately this reallocation is done prior to writing the new vector
