It i is posible to triger the bug without quota.
Untill the patch it we have following code
fs/ext4/inode.c:
1850         if (ext4_claim_free_blocks(sbi, md_needed + 1)) {
1851                 vfs_dq_release_reservation_block(inode, md_needed + 1);
1852                 if (ext4_should_retry_alloc(inode->i_sb, &retries)) {
1853                 retry:
1854                         if (md_reserved)
1855                                 write_inode_now(inode, (retries == 3));
^^^^^^^^^^ Here we goes in to lack of journal credits. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1856                         yield();
1857                         goto repeat;
1858                 }
1859                 return -ENOSPC;
1860         }
You have failed exactly here.
So the bug happens even in case of ENOSPC (try following testase):
dd if=/dev/zero /mnt/BIG_FILE bs=1M 
But it takes longer if partition is really huge.
