Commit f5a44db5d2 introduced a regression on filesystems created with the bigalloc feature (cluster size > blocksize). It causes xfstests generic/006 and /013 to fail with an unexpected JBD2 failure and transaction abort that leaves the test file system in a read only state. Other xfstests run on bigalloc file systems are likely to fail as well. The cause is the accidental use of a cluster mask where a cluster offset was needed in ext4_ext_map_blocks().
