Actually it's only a WARN_ON_ONCE and not a bug_on.
(You might have made panic_on_warn set to 1 in your testing)

You are right, i_rwsem won't be able to protect against such races which you
described. So, we actually use EXT4_I(inode)->xattr_sem for inline data
serialization.

So for this issue, I think if we should move from ext4_iomap_ops to
ext4_iomap_report_ops. ext4_iomap_begin_report does takes care of read locking
xattr_sem to properly report if it's a inline_data and similarly iomap_bmap
reports 0 (which it should) in case of iomap->type != IOMAP_MAPPED
(since in this case ext4_iomap_begin_report() will give IOMAP_INLINE)

Thoughts?
