Description Marian Rehak 2022-02-14 09:28:46 UTC 
There is an NULL pointer dereference in move_data_page in fs/f2fs/gc.c when f2fs tries to migrate a block that belongs to special file, and the file doesn't have assigned address space operations pointer array for mapping->a_ops field but called  a_ops->set_dirty_page().
