I saw this happen in two ways, both related to another thread doing a truncate which would unmap the buffer in question. Either we would get into journal_dirty_data with a bh which was already unmapped (although journal_dirty_data_fn had checked for this earlier, the state was not locked at that point), or it would get unmapped in the middle of journal_dirty_data when we dropped locks to call sync_dirty_buffer. By re-checking for mapped state after we've acquired the bh state lock, we should avoid these races. If we find a buffer which is no longer mapped, we essentially ignore it, because journal_unmap_buffer has already decided that this buffer can go away. I've also added tracepoints in these two cases, and made a couple other tracepoint changes that I found useful in debugging this.
