If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Josef Bacik [ Upstream commit dc24e273244e9d712257d5a6c20a32c7f5ca84e6 ] memory_failure() -> ... -> filemap_remove_folio() can read mapping->a_ops after the inode has been freed. Once the folio is deleted from the pagecache it no longer pins the mapping, so after i_lock is dropped e.g., a concurrent final iput() can evict and free the inode before filemap_free_folio() looks up mapping->a_ops->free_folio. Most callers hold a reference on the inode, but not all. Documentation/filesystems/vfs.rst explicitly states that ->free_folio() must not assume the original address_space mapping still exists. Fix it by loading ->free_folio while i_lock is still held, similar to what folio_unmap_invalidate() does. Inline filemap_free_folio() into its remaining caller such that delete_from_page_cache_batch() also just loads the callback before dropping the i_lock. The bug was found by code inspection and has not been reproduced. Fix generated by an LLM and sent by Josef Bacik in private.
