Yup, that's what I suspected.

^^^
That is the recycle stat, which indicates we've found an inode being
reclaimed. When it's found an inode that have been evicted, but not
yet reclaimed at the XFS level, that stat will increase. If the
inode is still valid at the VFS level, and igrab() fails, then we'll
get EAGAIN without that stat being increased. So, igrab() is
failing, and that means I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE are set.
So, it looks to be the same case as the ext4 hang, and it's likely
that we have some dangling inode dispose list somewhere. So, here's
the fun part. Use tracing to grab the inode number that is stuck
(tracepoint xfs::xfs_iget_skip), and then run crash on the live
kernel on the process that is looping, and find the struct xfs_inode
and print it. Use the inode number from the trace point to check
you've got the right inode.
Th struct inode of the VFS inode is embedded into the struct
xfs_inode, and the dispose list that it is on should be the on the
inode->i_lru_list. What that, and see how many other inodes are on
that list. Once we know if it's a single inode, and whether the
dispose list it is on is intact, empty or corrupt, we might have a
better idea of how these inodes are getting lost....
Cheers,
Dave.
