We have encountered the following problems several times:
1、A raid slot or hardware problem causes block device loss.
2、Continue to issue IO requests to the problematic block device.
3、The system possibly crash after a few hours.

The "obvious" cause is that the bp->b_pages was NULL in function
xfs_buf_offset. Analyzing vmcore, we found that b_pages=NULL but
b_page_count=16, so b_pages is set to NULL for some reason.
crash> struct xfs_buf ffff88627bebf000 | less
...
b_pages = 0x0,
b_page_array = {0x0, 0x0},
b_maps = 0xffff88627bebf118,
__b_map = {
bm_bn = 512,
bm_len = 128
},
b_map_count = 1,
b_io_length = 128,
b_pin_count = {
counter = 0
},
b_io_remaining = {
counter = 1
},
b_page_count = 16,
b_offset = 0,
b_error = 0,
...
To avoid system crash, we can add the check of 'bp->b_pages' to
xfs_inode_buf_verify(). If b_pages == NULL, we mark the buffer
as -EFSCORRUPTED and the IO will not dispatched.
