Actually argh, too many bugs.  ;)  I was thinking of 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=857618

which has been reported a few times, and hits a BUG() in 

1965 ext4_ext_put_in_cache(struct inode *inode, ext4_lblk_t block,
1966                         __u32 len, ext4_fsblk_t start)
1967 {
1968         struct ext4_ext_cache *cex;
1969         BUG_ON(len == 0);

but that's not what this reporter sees, sorry for the noise.

(Lukas pointed at upstream commit 31d4f3a2f3c73f279ff96a7135d7202ef6833f12
to avoid the BUG_ON but we still don't know the root cause I think).

Anyway, now I'm OT for this thread.
