CVE-2025-37806
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fs/ntfs3: Keep write operations atomic

syzbot reported a NULL pointer dereference in __generic_file_write_iter. [1]

Before the write operation is completed, the user executes ioctl[2] to clear
the compress flag of the file, which causes the is_compressed() judgment to
return 0, further causing the program to enter the wrong process and call the
wrong ops ntfs_aops_cmpr, which triggers the null pointer dereference of
write_begin.

Use inode lock to synchronize ioctl and write to avoid this case.
