The patch below should fix this problem. It's about 10% of the way
through XFSQA, which means there's nothing obviously bad about it,
but it will need many more eyes on it before we decide if this is
the best way to fix the problem....

Cheers,

Dave.

XFS: Fix double free of log tickets

When an I/O error occurs during an intermediate commit on a rolling
transaction, xfs_trans_commit() will free the transaction structure
and the related ticket. However, the duplicate transaction that
gets used as the transaction continues still contains a pointer
to the ticket. Hence when the duplicate transaction is cancelled
and freed, we free the ticket a second time.

Add reference counting to the ticket so that we hold an extra
reference to the ticket over the transaction commit. We drop the
extra reference once we have checked that the transaction commit
did not return an error, thus avoiding a double free on commit
error.

Credit to Nick Piggin for tripping over the problem.
