Subject: CVE-2024-41083: netfs: Fix netfs_page_mkwrite() to check folio->mapping is valid

Description
===========

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
    ...
    Call Trace:

     asm_exc_page_fault+0x22/0x30

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

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-41083 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
