Not directly, but there was a related change, 0af573780b0b which
requires aops->set_page_dirty to be set; is that perhaps missing?
I don't see one in the f2fs_compress_aops, for example.

The other possibiity is that it's a mapping that is missing an ->a_ops.
Is that something f2fs ever does?

I only managed to narrow down the crash to the line:
                return mapping->a_ops->dirty_folio(mapping, folio);
so either mapping->a_ops is NULL or mapping->a_ops->dirty_folio is
NULL.  The reproducer was on ARM and ARM doesn't emit a 'Code:' line,
unlike x86.
