Here is a proper, minmized reproducer which reproduces on upstream, for someone
who wants to try to work this bug.

For someone who wants to work the bug, here is a cleaner, properly
minimzed, easier-for-humans-to-understand reproducer:

#!/bin/bash -vx
#
# This reproduces an ext4 bug caused by an unfortunate interaction
# between lazytime updates happening when a file system is being
# unmounted and expand_extra_isize
#
# Initially discovered via syzkaller:

dir=/mnt
file=$dir/file0

rm -f $img
mke2fs -Fq -t ext4 -I 256 -O ea_inode -b 1024 $img 200k
mount $img $dir
v=$(dd if=/dev/zero bs=2000 count=1 2>/dev/null | tr '\0' =)
