Hi,

Sorry for the long delay reply... And thanks a lot for your advise! The 
bug trigger with a very low probability. So won't trigger with 5.10 can 
not prove no bug exist in 5.10.

Google a lot and notice that someone before has report the same bug[1]. 
'3b136499e906 ("ext4: fix data corruption in data=journal mode")' seems 
fix the problem. I will try to understand this, and give a analysis 
about how to reproduce it!

Thanks,
Kun.
