From: Xiubo Li <xiubo.li@clyso.com>
get_oldest_context() returns NULL when the inode has no dirty capsnaps
and no head writeback references. That is a legal return value that
context_is_writeable_or_written() handles explicitly, but
ceph_find_incompatible() and write_folio_nounlock() dereference the
returned pointer without checking:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
...
RIP: 0010:ceph_find_incompatible+0x75/0x1d0 [ceph]
Skip the sequence comparison when there is no oldest context: with no
dirty accounting there is nothing for the folio's snap context to
conflict with and the folio is writable. In write_folio_nounlock()
also fill the writeback ctl with the inode's current size and truncate
state in that case, since get_oldest_context() only fills it on the
capsnap and head paths and the uninitialized ctl would otherwise be
used for the EOF check and the OSD request.
Fixes: 80e755fedebc ("ceph: allow writeback of snapped pages older than 'oldest' snapc")

I can reproduce this 100% with my test script.
