Subject: kernel BUG at fs/ext4/extents.c:ext4_ext_search_right()

My test kernel is: 2.6.27
Hardware Environment: x86 or EM64T

I put stress on ext4 device by using the script.
After waiting some times, kernel brings up I/O error as follows:

RHEL5 kernel: EXT4-fs error (device hda3): ext4_ext_search_right: bad
header in inode #575041: unexpected eh_depth - magic f30a, entries 15,
max 84(0), depth 1(2)

If using "sync" command at the time, the command will not be finished.
The kernel message as follows:

INFO: task sync:16199 blocked for more than 120 seconds.et: Discarding 
datagram
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
