This piece was missing in commit ae678317b95e ("netfs: Remove deprecated use of PG_private_2 as a second writeback flag").
There is one remaining use of PG_private_2: the function __fscache_clear_page_bits(), whose only purpose is to clear PG_private_2. This is done via folio_end_private_2() which also releases the folio reference which was supposed to be taken by folio_start_private_2() (via ceph_set_page_fscache()).
__fscache_clear_page_bits() is called by __fscache_write_to_cache(), but only if the parameter using_pgpriv2 is true; the only caller of that function is ceph_fscache_write_to_cache() which still passes true.
By calling folio_end_private_2() without folio_start_private_2(), the folio refcounter breaks and causes trouble like RCU stalls and general protection faults.
