It may happen as follows:
1. write inline_data inode
vfs_write
new_sync_write
ext4_file_write_iter
ext4_buffered_write_iter
generic_perform_write
ext4_da_write_begin
ext4_da_write_inline_data_begin -> If inline data size too
small will allocate block to write, then mapping will has
dirty page
ext4_da_convert_inline_data_to_extent ->clear EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA
2. fallocate
do_vfs_ioctl
ioctl_preallocate
vfs_fallocate
ext4_fallocate
ext4_convert_inline_data
ext4_convert_inline_data_nolock
ext4_map_blocks -> fail will goto restore data
ext4_restore_inline_data
ext4_create_inline_data
ext4_write_inline_data
ext4_set_inode_state -> set inode EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA
3. writepages
__ext4_ioctl
ext4_alloc_da_blocks
filemap_flush
filemap_fdatawrite_wbc
do_writepages
ext4_writepages
if (ext4_has_inline_data(inode))
BUG_ON(ext4_test_inode_state(inode, EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA))
The root cause of this issue is we destory inline data until call
ext4_writepages under delay allocation mode. But there maybe already
convert from inline to extent. To solve this issue, we call
filemap_flush first..
