I've bisected the problem to the following commit:
commit 167f21a81a9c4dbd6970a4ee3853aecad405fa7f (HEAD)
Author: Joanne Koong <joannelkoong@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon Jul 7 16:46:06 2025 -0700
mm: remove BDI_CAP_WRITEBACK_ACCT
There are no users of BDI_CAP_WRITEBACK_ACCT now that fuse doesn't do
its own writeback accounting. This commit removes
BDI_CAP_WRITEBACK_ACCT.
Joanne Koong, could you please take a look at the syzbot report below?
