I've seen this one occasionally, and I'm not sure what's going on.
I've never been able to reproduce it myself, and it seems to disappear
for the people who have been able to reproduce it ;-(

It is 100% my fault and definitely caused by large folios.  In the
XArray, large folios are represented by a folio pointer in the lowest
index occupied by that folio and sibling entries in every other index,
which redirect lookups to the canonical (ie lowest) entry.  This 0x42
that you've managed to find in the XArray is a sibling entry.  It
says that the entry we're actually looking for is at offset 0x10 of
the node we're in.  

Something similar was fixed in commit 63b1898fffcd, but that was a
sibling entry that ended up pointing to a node.  You've *presumably*
hit some kind of temporary situation where the original sibling entry is no
longer pointing to the folio entry that it should be.  However, there's
another possibility, which is that this is not a temporary RCU-induced
state, but we have corruption in the tree.  If we do have corruption,
then you'll see an infinite loop instead of a crash.

If it's a temporary situation, this will fix it.

Please do let me know ... you say it's happened twice, but how many
machine-hours did it take to hit twice?
