We should be returning an error when we pass in an lblk >= EXT4_MAX_BLOCKS in ext4_map_blocks(), long before we even get to ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache(). And if we fix it there, we may catch other cases which might lead to the BUG_ON() firing. Also, how ext4_bmap() is currently being implemented is spectacularly ugly; I have no idea why we are calling generic_block_bmap() instead of calling ext4_map_blocks() directly. Since FIBMAP requires root privs, I'd much rather fix this at our leisure post merge-window. If this same bug can be triggered by FIEMAP, then we really do need to fix this right away, since FIEMAP can be used by anybody. (But then we should be fixing it in ext4_map_blocks, not in ext4_bmap.) Did you check whether the same bug can be triggered via FIEMAP?
