Fengguang,
It sounds like you have a (at least fairly) reliable reproduction for
this problem? Is it something you can share? It would be good to get
this into our test suites, since it was _not_ something that was
caught by xfstests, apparently.
Can you see if this patch addresses it? (The first two patch hunks
are the same debugging additions I had posted before.)
It looks like the responsible commit is 968dee7722: "ext4: fix hole
punch failure when depth is greater than 0". I had thought this patch
was low risk if you weren't using the new punch ioctl, but it turns
out it did make a critical change in the non-punch (i.e., truncate)
code path, which is what the addition of "i = 0;" in the patch below
addresses.
Regards,
