The xfs_buf_log_item ->iop_unlock() callback asserts that the buffer is unlocked when either non-stale or aborted. This assert occurs after the bli refcount has been dropped and the log item potentially freed. The aborted check is thus a potential use after free. This problem has been reproduced with KASAN enabled via generic/475. Fix up xfs_buf_item_unlock() to query aborted state before the bli reference is dropped to prevent a potential use after free.
