Well, I'm glad it triggered.  That warning is:
        WARN_ON_ONCE(bitmap_full(iop->uptodate, nr_blocks) !=
                        PageUptodate(page));
so there was definitely a problem of some kind.

truncate_cleanup_page() calls
do_invalidatepage() calls
iomap_invalidatepage() calls
iomap_page_release()

Is this the first warning?  I'm wondering if maybe there was an I/O error
earlier which caused PageUptodate to get cleared again.  If it's easy to
reproduce, perhaps you could try something like this?

+void dump_iomap_page(struct page *page, const char *reason)
+{
+       struct iomap_page *iop = to_iomap_page(page);
+       unsigned int nr_blocks = i_blocks_per_page(page->mapping->host, page);
+
+       dump_page(page, reason);
+       if (iop)
+               printk("iop:reads %d writes %d uptodate %*pb\n",
+                               atomic_read(&iop->read_bytes_pending),
+                               atomic_read(&iop->write_bytes_pending),
+                               nr_blocks, iop->uptodate);
+       else
+               printk("iop:none\n");
+}

and then do something like:

	if (bitmap_full(iop->uptodate, nr_blocks) != PageUptodate(page))
		dump_iomap_page(page, NULL);
