The code falls through to the folio_put path\nwhich calls virt_to_folio(NULL), dereferencing an invalid address and\ncausing a kernel crash.\n\n Call Trace:\n  xfs_buf_free+0x25f/0x510\n  xfs_buf_alloc+0xc98/0x19b0\n  xfs_buf_find_insert+0x55/0x14d0\n  xfs_buf_get_map+0x122b/0x17c0\n  xfbtree_init_leaf_block+0x11c/0x4a0\n  xfbtree_init+0x1bb/0x460\n  xrep_rmap_setup_scan+0x100/0x1f0\n  xrep_rmapbt+0x41/0xc0\n\nFix this by skipping folio_put() when bp->b_addr is NULL."
