Looking at the stack trace it looks like we're hitting this BUG_ON:

		spin_lock(&tmp_pa->pa_lock);
		if (tmp_pa->pa_deleted == 0)
			BUG_ON(!(start >= tmp_pa_end || end <= tmp_pa_start));
		spin_unlock(&tmp_pa->pa_lock);

... in the inline function ext4_mb_pa_assert_overlap(), called from
ext4_mb_pa_adjust_overlap().

The generic/269 test runs fstress with an ENOSPC hitter as an
antogonist process.  The ext3 configuration disables delayed
allocation, which means that fstress is going to be allocating blocks
at write time (instead of dirty page writeback time).

Could you take a look?   Thanks!
