I assume you're thinking of one of the fuzzer blkdev ones:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CACkBjsbtF_peC7N_4mRfHML_BeiPe+O9DahTfr84puSG_J9rcQ@mail.gmail.com/
or
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CACkBjsYwLYLRmX8GpsDpMthagWOjWWrNxqY6ZLNQVr6yx+f5vA@mail.gmail.com/

I haven't started on those ones yet: yes, I imagine one or both of those
will need a further fix (S_ISREG() check somewhere if we're lucky; but
could well be nastier); but for the bug in this thread, I expect
removing the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageTail) to be enough.

If you're thinking of something else, please send a link if you can - thanks.
