Above issue may happen as follows:
Assume
inode.i_size=4096
EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize=4096

step 1: set inode->i_isize = 8192
ext4_setattr
  if (attr->ia_size != inode->i_size)
    EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize = attr->ia_size;
    rc = ext4_mark_inode_dirty
       ext4_reserve_inode_write
          ext4_get_inode_loc
            __ext4_get_inode_loc
              sb_getblk --> return -ENOMEM
   ...
   if (!error)  ->will not update i_size
     i_size_write(inode, attr->ia_size);
Now:
inode.i_size=4096
EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize=8192

step 2: Direct write 4096 bytes
ext4_file_write_iter
 ext4_dio_write_iter
   iomap_dio_rw ->return error
 if (extend)
   ext4_handle_inode_extension
     WARN_ON_ONCE(i_size_read(inode) < EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize);
->Then trigger warning.

To solve above issue, if mark inode dirty failed in ext4_setattr just
set 'EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize' with old value.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49352 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
