Zhiyong,

The ext4_mb_generate_buddy() error message just means that there is an
inconsistency between the allocation bitmap and the allocation statistics in
the block group descriptor.   So people who just google for
"ext4_mb_generate_buddy" can often find old bugs that had similar symptoms.

The most recent bugfix in this area was caused by a backport of commit:

007649375f6af2 ext4: initialize multi-block allocator before checking block
descriptors

which caused errors after a replay.  It was reverted in mainline commit:

f9ae9cf5d72b39 ext4: revert commit which was causing fs corruption after
journal replays

You might want to check to see if that might be applicable for your kernel.
