Our mails crossed; forget the pr_warn alternative then, the WARN stays
as sent. If digging into the FAT cases from the syzbot repros helps, I
can take that on; say so and I will report what I find. Your free and
reallocate theory also describes something beamfs could do with its
indirect blocks, so I am running xfstests against the warning on our
side first.
