So I asked if you could test with my workaround of taking truncate_mutex
at the start of ext2_get_blocks, and report back. I never heard of any
response after that.

To reiterate: I was able to reproduce a problem with ext2 (I was testing
on brd to get IO rates high enough to reproduce it quite frequently).
I think I narrowed the problem down to block allocation or inode block
tree corruption because I was unable to reproduce it with that hack in
place.
