I tried testing to see if this fixed [1], and it appears to be triggering a lockdep warning[2] at this line in the patch: [1] https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=f4582777a19ec422b517 [2] https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/report.txt?x=17260843280000 > diff --git a/fs/ext4/file.c b/fs/ext4/file.c > index d101b3b0c7da..9df82d72eb90 100644 > --- a/fs/ext4/file.c > +++ b/fs/ext4/file.c > @@ -808,6 +809,27 @@ static int ext4_file_mmap(struct file *file, struct vm_area_struct *vma) > if (!daxdev_mapping_supported(vma, dax_dev)) > return -EOPNOTSUPP; > > + /* > + * Writing via mmap has no logic to handle inline data, so we > + * need to call ext4_convert_inline_data() to convert the inode > + * to normal format before doing so, otherwise a BUG_ON will be > + * triggered in ext4_writepages() due to the > + * EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag.

Could you take a look?
