These look like a use after free or a double free, but that isn't possible in the XFS code paths that are showing up in the traces. > And some other messages in an older kernel: > > [ 39.004416] F2FS-fs (nbd2): unable to read second superblock > [ 39.005088] XFS: Assertion failed: read && bp->b_ops, file: fs/xfs/xfs_buf.c, line: 1036 This can not possibily occur on the superblock read path, as bp->b_ops in that case is *always* initialised, as is XBF_READ.

It's not a use after free or memory corruption caused by XFS you are seeing here. I note that you have CONFIG_SLUB=y, which means that the cache slabs are shared with objects of other types. That means that the memory corruption problem is likely to be caused by one of the other filesystems that is probing the block device(s), not XFS.
