:)Right, but the kernel shouldn't go bug...

Indeed, that's why I'm reporting.


:)I don't have a copy of your exact source code... which condition in
:)__mpage_writepage went BUG?

BUG_ON(buffer_locked(bh));

In a bit of context:
482:    if (page_has_buffers(page)) {
483:            struct buffer_head *head = page_buffers(page);
484:            struct buffer_head *bh = head;
485:
486:            /* If they're all mapped and dirty, do it */
487:            page_block = 0;
488:            do {
489:                    BUG_ON(buffer_locked(bh));
490:                    if (!buffer_mapped(bh)) {
491:                            /*
492:                             * unmapped dirty buffers are created by

494:                             */
495:                            if (buffer_dirty(bh))
496:                                    goto confused;
497:                            if (first_unmapped == blocks_per_page)
498:                                    first_unmapped = page_block;
499:                            continue;
500:                    }
