I do have found this problem on linux next 20190528 on x86_64, i386, arm64 and arm architectures. But, this failure is not easy to reproduce. so thought of sharing report with steps to reproduce and got delayed.
Jan --- this is the old version of your patch, which I had dropped before sending a push request to Linus. However, I forgot to reset the dev branch so it still had the old patch on it, and so it got picked up in linux-next. Apologies for the confusion.
I've reset the dev branch on ext4.git, and the new version of your patch will show up there shortly, as I start reviewing patches for the next merge window.
However, Thanks for looking into this problem. I will keep monitoring this mmap16 failure and let you know when it will get fixed.
