Yup, I see the problem - this check is failing:

        if (XFS_IS_CORRUPT(mp, ir.loaded != ifp->if_nextents)) {
                error = -EFSCORRUPTED;
                goto out;
        }

and that results in calling xfs_iext_destroy() to tear down the
extent tree.

But we know the BMBT is corrupted and the extent list cannot be read
until the corruption is fixed. IOWs, we can't access any data in the
inode no matter how we lock it until the corruption is repaired.

.... and this makes me cringe. :/

If we hit this race condition, re-reading the extent list from disk
isn't going to fix the corruption, so I don't see much point in
papering over the problem just by changing the locking and failing
to read in the extent list again and returning -EFSCORRUPTED to the
operation.

So.... shouldn't we mark the inode as sick when we detect the extent
list corruption issue? i.e. before destroying the iext tree, calling
xfs_inode_mark_sick(XFS_SICK_INO_BMBTD) (or BMBTA, depending on the
fork being read) so that there is a record of the BMBT being
corrupt?

That would mean that this path simply becomes:

	if (ip->i_sick & XFS_SICK_INO_BMBTD) {
		xfs_iunlock(ip, lock_mode);
		return -EFSCORRUPTED;
	}

Which is now pretty clear that we there's no point continuing
because we can't read in the extent list, and in doing so we've
removed the race condition caused by temporarily filling the in-core
extent list.

And this can just check for XFS_SICK_INO_BMBTA instead...
