I did the same test with ext4 instead of xfs and it resulted in the same
type of systemic corruption (lvm2 metadata corrupted too):
[12816.407147] EXT4-fs (dm-4): DAX enabled. Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk
[12816.416123] EXT4-fs (dm-4): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: dax
[12816.766855] EXT4-fs error (device dm-4): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:758: group 9, block bitmap and bg descriptor inconsistent: 32768 vs 32395 free clusters
[12816.782016] EXT4-fs error (device dm-4): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:758: group 10, block bitmap and bg descriptor inconsistent: 32768 vs 16384 free clusters
[12816.797491] JBD2: Spotted dirty metadata buffer (dev = dm-4, blocknr = 0). There's a risk of filesystem corruption in case of system crash.
