hi, while running a modified version of fsfuzzer i triggered the BUG() in ext4_mb_release_inode_pa(). Sadly I am not able to reproduce this using the generated image, but running the fuzzer will usually trigger this in less than 40 attempts. Increasing the JBD2 Debug level didnt give more information. The kernel is current git with ext4-fix-null-pointer-deref-in-journal_wait_on_commit_record.patch applied.
