In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: only dirty folios when data journaling regular files
fstest generic/388 occasionally reproduces a crash that looks as
follows:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
...

This occurs when processing a symlink inode from the orphan list. The
partial block zeroing code in the truncate path calls
ext4_dirty_journalled_data() -> folio_mark_dirty(). The latter calls
mapping->a_ops->dirty_folio(), but symlink inodes are not assigned an
a_ops vector in ext4, hence the crash.
To avoid this problem, update the ext4_dirty_journalled_data() helper to
only mark the folio dirty on regular files (for which a_ops is
assigned). This also matches the journaling logic in the ext4_symlink()
creation path, where ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() is called directly.
