// trigger WARN_ON(!io_end->handle && sbi->s_journal);
The immediate cause of this problem is that ext4_should_dioread_nolock()
function returns inconsistent values in the ext4_do_writepages() and
mpage_map_one_extent(). There are four conditions in this function that
can be changed at mount time to cause this problem. These four conditions
can be divided into two categories:
(1) journal_data and EXT4_EXTENTS_FL, which can be changed by ioctl
(2) DELALLOC and DIOREAD_NOLOCK, which can be changed by remount
The two in the first category have been fixed by commit c8585c6fcaf2
("ext4: fix races between changing inode journal mode and ext4_writepages")
and commit cb85f4d23f79 ("ext4: fix race between writepages and enabling
EXT4_EXTENTS_FL") respectively.
Two cases in the other category have not yet been fixed, and the above
issue is caused by this situation. We refer to the fix for the first
category, when applying options during remount, we grab s_writepages_rwsem
to avoid racing with writepages ops to trigger this problem.
Fixes: 6b523df4fb5a ("ext4: use transaction reservation for extent conversion in ext4_end_io")
