When moving xfs volumes between kernels that have 96f859d52 and don't have 96f859d52, there is potential for a filesystem crash if the agfl has wrapped (flfirst > fllast). Depending on which filesystem this is this can take down the whole machine. Such is the case when upgrading from the stock Centos 7 3.13 to the kernel.org stable kernels (via elrepo). Another possible common boundary cross I noticed was early Ubuntu kernel v4.4 to recent v4.4. We've been hitting this crash roughly once a week in our cloud, and it has produced the below stack trace. The solution prefers to reset the agfl and leak a few blocks instead of shutting down the filesystem. The leaked blocks can be recovered using a xfs_repair. The attached patch is a backport of a27ba2607 due to a78ee256c. It is intended for and tested on the v4.4 stream, but should apply to all kernels that lack upstream a78ee256c.
