In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix netfs_page_mkwrite() to check folio->mapping is valid
Fix netfs_page_mkwrite() to check that folio->mapping is valid once it has
taken the folio lock (as filemap_page_mkwrite() does). Without this,
generic/247 occasionally oopses with something like the following:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
RIP: 0010:trace_event_raw_event_netfs_folio+0x61/0xc0
...

This is due to the invalidate_inode_pages2_range() issued at the end of the
DIO write interfering with the mmap'd writes.
