So this is a different report from the ones where we see this error:

[817576.492468] EXT4-fs error (device vdd): ext4_mb_release_inode_pa:3729: group 59035, free 14, pa_free 12

Have you seen any more of these errors?

FYI, this BUG (which can happens after certain jbd2 errors, which in
your case happened after the journal was aborted) is fixed with commit
66a4cb187b9 which will be in v3.15.
