We've seen 2 reports of an oops on log replay after a swapext, which look something like: [ 63.188907] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000004 [ 63.196774] IP: [<ffffffffc093e5e6>] xfs_bmbt_init_cursor+0x46/0x180 [xfs] ...

I can reproduce this with a hacky script that can be cleaned up and turned into an xfstest: #!/bin/bash DEV=/dev/sdZ1 umount $DEV mkfs.xfs -f $DEV mkdir -p /mnt/test mount $DEV /mnt/test for I in `seq 4194304 -4096 0`; do ((I % 12288)) || continue xfs_io -f -d -c "pwrite $I 4096" /mnt/test/fragfile done xfs_fsr -v /mnt/test/fragfile xfs_io -c "truncate 0" /mnt/test/fragfile for I in `seq 32768 -4096 0`; do xfs_io -f -c "pwrite $I 4096" /mnt/test/fragfile done sync xfs_io -x -c shutdown /mnt/test umount /mnt/test mount $DEV /mnt/test ==== The upshot is that if we successfully fsr a file and it remains in btree format, then it changes to non-btree format and we crash, log replay will still try to do xfs_bmbt_change_owner which will oops if we're not in btree format. Patches to fix this follow. Lightly tested. Thanks to dave for talking through this one with me.
