swap_inode_boot_loader() (EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT) checks
!ext4_has_inline_data(inode), but neither checks
ext4_has_inline_data(inode_bl) nor clears EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA on
inode and inode_bl after swapping their inode data.

When a newly created empty file (which has EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA
set in memory) is swapped with a non-empty EXT4_BOOT_LOADER_INO that
already has extent blocks, the target inode retains
EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA == 1 alongside extent blocks. A subsequent
ftruncate() + small pwrite() + fsync() dirties folio 0 while converting
the inode to inline data, hitting
BUG_ON(ext4_test_inode_state(inode, EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA)) in
ext4_writepages().

Reject inline data on inode_bl and clear EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA on
both inodes in swap_inode_boot_loader().

I guess instead we should add a check to check_igot_inode() that inode
doesn't have inline data if EXT4_IGET_SPECIAL flag is set.

Please don't touch inode_bl. That one should never have
EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA set (and nobody can manipulate it directly
anyway). For 'inode' I agree it will get blocks from inode_bl so better
just clear EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA.
