Well it seems to consist of 2 issues with a kernel booted with a 3.2.0 kernel:
1) - It only seems to trigger with a snapshot of the LV present
- Just tested if the snapshot being mounted RO did really matter, it doesn't.
- It can also be triggerd if mounted RW
- It can also be triggered when the snapshot is not mounted at all (by just copying some files on the filesystem itself)
So that seems a device mapper issue
2) BUT:
after the error triggerd by 1:
- After removing the snapshot with lvremove,
- umounting the filesystem on the LV
- fsckíng the filesystem without errors (apart from the journal recovery)
- rebooting the machine again with 3.2.0 kernel
- mounting the filesystem on the LV
- removing the partially copied files
- trying to copy files from the filesystem on the LV to the same filesystem, without a snapshot of the LV present
- it fails with the exact same error mounting the filesystem RO.
then
- umounting the filesystem on the LV
- fsckíng the filesystem without errors (apart from the journal recovery)
- rebooting the machine with a 3.1.5 kernel
- mounting the filesystem on the LV
- removing the partially copied files
- trying to copy files from the filesystem on the LV to the same filesystem, without a snapshot of the LV present
- no problems files copied ok
then
- rebooting into 3.2.0 again
- mounting the filesystem on the LV
- removing the completly copied files
- trying to copy files from the filesystem on the LV to the same filesystem, without a snapshot of the LV present
- no problems files copied ok
SO
- it keeps on failing on 3.2.0, even when the snapshot is gone and the system is rebooted, after 3.1.5 is booted once everything seems to be OK again .... even under 3.2.0
- that seems more like a filesystem thing ?
I doubled checked and performed all these steps again.

Also found some old info that might be related, http://answers.softpicks.net/answers/topic/2-6-28-ext4-xen-and-lvm-volume-becomes-ro-after-snapshot-1610734-1.htm
I'm also running under xen (host only, no guests started), will try baremetal as well to see if that plays a role.

Also found some old info that might be related, http://answers.softpicks.net/answers/topic/2-6-28-ext4-xen-and-lvm-volume-becomes-ro-after-snapshot-1610734-1.htm
I'm also running under xen (host only, no guests started), will try baremetal as well to see if that plays a role.

OK Xen is out of the equation, it also happens on baremetal.
Last time under both Xen and baremetal i got a slightly different error (different numbers (group)

Tried to bisect, but every kernel in between seems to have some drivers for devices f*cked up so it doesn't even boot.
That was a quite frustrating and disappointing experience.
So it's back to 3.1.5 and continue with i was actually trying to do, and try later if it's still reproducible with another disk layout.
Thx for your effort so far.

The existence of a snapshot changes I/O completion times significantly, so
it may be a race condition in ext4 that gets triggered which changed
timings.

The idea that timing might cause issues on a FS is disturbing.

I am on 3.2.0 as well.
It happened for me on a freshly created FS.
"mke2fs -j -O sparse_super -O dir_index -O extents -O filetype -O uninit_bg"
mounted with no additional options for the first time I got an
"EXT4-fs error (device md127): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:739: group 28671, 32765
clusters in bitmap, 32766 in gd"
after writing about 3TB of data.
I do not have RO snapshots as the OP, but my md sits on to of luks containers.
So we do have the device mapper in common.
Just for the records: Unlike the contents, the hardware is not new and did not
have any known issues.
Greetings,

After I did an fsck and tried to continue, I didn't get that far.
After another 200GB or so it happened again.
And now it's reproducible:
I can run fsck and then try to continue (using rsync). But as soon as writing
starts, the process hangs for a long time. At least one minute, probably longer.
Then the ext4_mb_generate_buddy comes again.
I upgraded e2fstools from 1.41.14 to 1.42 and the kernel to 3.2.2.
No difference.
That FS is unusable.

Could you please try to bisect the problem, if it is reproducible?
I was looking for a change which I thought might be responsible (removal of block bitmap initialization when inodes are first allocated from an uninitialized inode table) but I couldn't see it in the git log, so maybe that change has not landed yet.
I don't have any other ideas of which recent patches might be responsible at this point.
Cheers, Andreas

If you or someone else has an idea, how to do so, I will try to collect more
information.
There is actually an important bit I forgot to mention in the last message:
After I got the error and umount the FS I get lots of journal commit I/O
errors. But no indication as to what or why it fails.

As there was a mention at the beginning that this may have happened after an
upgrade from 3.1.5 to 3.2, I will build a 3.1.5 and see if that really makes a
difference.

Yes it does.
3.1.5 has been working for 4.5 hours now, continuing form the point where 3.2
and 3.2.2 reproducibly barfed.
I see some changes to ext4 on January 9 and 10. But nothing thereafter so I'm
not sure if it's worth trying something like 3.3-rc1.
The bad thing is that 3.2 has been working for about 20 hours, so it's not a
quick test.

I don't know what the cause is, but I think I've got the trigger.
Those errors appeared when using rsync on a directory containing a file that was
written to (extended) while the rsync was running, which seems to be a
situation, where rsync causes a lot of stress. It certainly takes a hell of a
lot of time.
I suspect any of the ext4 related commits from Jan 9th/10th. From the log I
guess they should still exist in 3.3-rc1. I'm currently testing that, but
unfortunately that might take some time.
And a short repeat: I'm using an md, but no lvm.

If it can help, I add the exactly same behaviour: filesystem remounted
read-only with the same messages in dmesg and had to fsck it with a
3.1 kernel when I resized my ext4/lvm root fs.
I used kernel 3.3-rc6 from debian experimental amd64.
root fs remounted read-only with the same errors in dmesg after:
lvresize -L +5G /dev/mapper/perceval_vg1-root
resize2fs /dev/mapper/perceval_vg1-root
Rebooting on 3.3 or 3.2 kernel doesn't helped. Also tried to boot on
3.0 and 2.6.x from rescue CDs without success (fsck ok, mounting
without problem but fs remounted ro as soon as I boot on 3.2 or 3.3
kernel).
I had to install a 3.1 kernel boot on it to be able to finaly reboot on 3.3.
I use a single harddrive without any sort of raid and with one lvm pv
and one vg:
