Subject: WARNING at fs/ext4/inode.c ext4_evict_inode() triggers on 4.0

Hi Jan,

I'm hitting the following warning on a 4.0 kernel:

  WARNING: CPU: 15 PID: 1005611 at fs/ext4/inode.c:233 ext4_evict_inode+0x4be/0x4d0()

Commit 822dbba ("ext4: fix warning in ext4_evict_inode()") proportedly fixed
this in 3.11. The check was entirely removed in 4.6.

Is it interesting to you that this triggers on 4.0? I can revert 600be30 and
see if I can reproduce it on upstream, but since the check got removed I
was wondering if there was post-4.0 work that makes it obsolete?

Thanks,
Calvin
