My issue was primary with iSCSI and I cut bisect it. I already send a patch to 
the list:

    block/iscsi: avoid data corruption with cache=writeback

    nb_cls_shrunk in iscsi_allocmap_update can become -1 if the
    request starts and ends within the same cluster. This results
    in passing -1 to bitmap_set and bitmap_clear and they don't
    handle negative values properly. In the end this leads to data
    corruption.

However, one user also reported corruption with LVM. I will check if he uses 
virtio-scsi.

Thanks,
