This reproduces it every time when mounted with compress-force=zstd:

#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main() {
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
		char buf[256] = { 0 };
		int fd, ret;
		char *p;

		fd = open("test", O_CREAT | O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC, 0666);
		if (fd == -1) {
			perror("open");
			return EXIT_FAILURE;
		}
		if (write(fd, buf, sizeof(buf)) != sizeof(buf)) {
			perror("write");
			close(fd);
			return EXIT_FAILURE;
		}
		close(fd);

		fd = open("test", O_RDONLY, 0666);
		if (fd == -1) {
			perror("open");
			return EXIT_FAILURE;
		}
		p = mmap(NULL, 256, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
		if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
			perror("mmap");
			close(fd);
			return EXIT_FAILURE;
		}
		if (p[0] != 0)
			return 1;
		close(fd);

		fd = open("test", O_WRONLY, 0666);
		if (fd == -1) {
			perror("open");
			return EXIT_FAILURE;
		}
		ret = ftruncate(fd, 128);
		if (ret) {
			printf("ftruncate() returned %d\n", ret);
			close(fd);
			return EXIT_FAILURE;
		}
		close(fd);
	}

	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

This happens any time NEED_TRUNCATE_BLOCK is returned. The file has to
be inline and compressed, and there's some other condition that I
haven't figured out yet which the mmap() is there for.
