Hi Dave, >From time to time we hit an xfs corruption when xattr leaf is attempted to be written when it has ichdr.count==0. We are on an old kernel 3.18.19. We managed to capture xfs trace buffer closer to the problem time.

This causes file creation to insert xattr leaf during file creation. This completes queuing an AIL. Immediately after this an explicit xfs_setattr is being done on the same file which alters the default ACL & this causes default ACL to be removed/added. It looks like this 2nd set attr is somehow influencing the first AIL entry that it is being seen with ichr.count==0 during the write. I can pass the full xfs debug trace if required.

The workload is we a custom application that does several (16 threads) file create/read/writes/update xattrs on a XFS mounted over raw disk. There is no messages prior to this & we hit this once in a few days (like every 4-5 days). I will try your suggestion of running with xfs_attr_* tracepoints all the time so that when we hit this error we have better info. Please let me know if you prefer to add further debug prints.

Unmounting & running xfs_repair doesn't report any corruption. I see that this was last reported here http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2015-12/msg00224.html Unfortunately we dont have a reproducer, but this issue happens periodically. We can add more debug prints & allow this issue to happen again. Can you pls suggest any options to debug this further?
