I've got this warning yesterday while writing to a samba share on ARM. The samba process was deadlocked, I rebooted the device and issued e2fsck and it seems it didn't damage anything from the FS structure. Looking at flush_pending_writes I see it talks about bitmaps, however I know this RAID1 hasn't any bitmap set.
