Above issue may happens as follows:
ext4_da_write_begin
  ext4_create_inline_data
    ext4_clear_inode_flag(inode, EXT4_INODE_EXTENTS);
    ext4_set_inode_flag(inode, EXT4_INODE_INLINE_DATA);
__ext4_ioctl
  ext4_ext_migrate -> will lead to eh->eh_entries not zero, and set extent flag
ext4_da_write_begin
  ext4_da_convert_inline_data_to_extent
    ext4_da_write_inline_data_begin
      ext4_da_map_blocks
        ext4_insert_delayed_block
	  if (!ext4_es_scan_clu(inode, &ext4_es_is_delonly, lblk))
	    if (!ext4_es_scan_clu(inode, &ext4_es_is_mapped, lblk))
	      ext4_clu_mapped(inode, EXT4_B2C(sbi, lblk)); -> will return 1
	       allocated = true;
          ext4_es_insert_delayed_block(inode, lblk, allocated);
ext4_writepages
  mpage_map_and_submit_extent(handle, &mpd, &give_up_on_write); -> return -ENOSPC
  mpage_release_unused_pages(&mpd, give_up_on_write); -> give_up_on_write == 1
    ext4_es_remove_extent
      ext4_da_release_space(inode, reserved);
        if (unlikely(to_free > ei->i_reserved_data_blocks))
	  -> to_free == 1  but ei->i_reserved_data_blocks == 0
	  -> then trigger warning as above

To solve above issue, forbid inode do migrate which has inline data.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49880 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:
