I have written that code only because nobody wanted to test real-life
test cases I had provided (VM with low memory and Windows 7 inside).
However now I think it is going to be even easier to reproduce in a
VM. My guess if you install a VM with virtual drive on DRBD or MD RAID
and cache=none, create ext3 or ext4 partition inside this VM and run
my code inside then you will get inconsistence. May be you need to run
it not once but 10-20 times but finally it should happen.
