As discussed at LSF/MM, on the flight over I wrote a little repro [0] which
reliably triggers the ext4 warning by recreating the scenario described
above, using a small userland program and kernel module.

This code is not perfect (plane code :) but does seem to do the job
adequately, also obviously this should only be run in a VM environment
where data loss is acceptable (in my case a small qemu instance).
It would be really awesome if you could wire it up with and submit it
to xfstests.
