In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:netfs: Fix netfs_page_mkwrite() to check folio->mapping is validFix netfs_page_mkwrite() to check that folio->mapping is valid once it hastaken 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    ...
