--> f2fs_grab_meta_page() gives a locked page by grab_cache_page().

2368 memcpy(page_address(page), src, PAGE_SIZE);

Is there a change in folio?

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.

Do you mean dirty_folio? I think all aops have it except the compressed one
that we don't make it dirty.

Hmm, no, I haven't seen this before, and we set aops when mounting the
file system. Ah, if this happens on the corrupted image, yeah, maybe.. I need
to check the error path in f2fs_fill_super.
