Sorry you didn't get a response earlier. Reporting
problems like this--especially if they come with a
proposed fix--is always appreciated.

I expect there are other similar problems lurking in
the libxfs code.
I think your change looks good, with one exception,
noted below. I will gladly adjust your patch for
you if you consent to the change I suggest.

I think that libxfs_readbuf() simply returns the
value of the special global "errno" if there is
an error. And I believe that at this point it
will not have been changed, so there's no need
to assign it here.
In other words, I'd like to remove this one piece
of your patch.
