--- Comment #11 from Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu> ---
Why are you still using v3.16.0?    The latest 3.16 kernel is v3.16.7.  I
believe the bug in question was fixed in a backport that first showed up in
v3.16.2:

    ext4: fix ext4_discard_allocated_blocks() if we can't allocate the pa
struct

    commit 86f0afd463215fc3e58020493482faa4ac3a4d69 upstream.

    If there is a failure while allocating the preallocation structure, a
    number of blocks can end up getting marked in the in-memory buddy
    bitmap, and then not getting released.  This can result in the
    following corruption getting reported by the kernel:

    EXT4-fs error (device sda3): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:758: group 1126,
    12793 clusters in bitmap, 12729 in gd

    In that case, we need to release the blocks using mb_free_blocks().

    Tested: fs smoke test; also demonstrated that with injected errors,
        the file system is no longer getting corrupted
