Thanks to Jan.

Hi Andreas,

It seems that iomap_write_begin is expected to handle I/O directly based on folio, rather than entering the buffer head path. Is it possible that GFS2 incorrectly passes data related to buffer head to iomap_write_begin?

Could you please help us to check the exact cause of the issue?

Thanks,
