Line 959 in 3.1.5 is this:
bh = head = page_buffers(page);
page_buffers expands to:
#define page_buffers(page) \
({ \
BUG_ON(!PagePrivate(page)); \
((struct buffer_head *)page_private(page)); \
})
so what we got here is a page without buffers. Very odd.

And this looks like an entirely normal callchain for the flusher thread.
Something must have set the page dirty without going through the normal
XFS codepath. Did you use any interesting virtualization things, or
utrace / systemtap or anything odd?
