After xfs_mountfs() fails to replay the log, it goes to out_perag_free: which does xfs_free_perag(). Later down the mount failure path, xfs_buf_rele() checks for (!pag): if (!pag) { ASSERT(list_empty(&bp->b_lru)); ASSERT(RB_EMPTY_NODE(&bp->b_rbnode)); if (atomic_dec_and_test(&bp->b_hold)) xfs_buf_free(bp); return; } but we did not set the perag to NULL, so this doesn't get hit. Next we do: if (atomic_dec_and_lock(&bp->b_hold, &pag->pag_buf_lock)) { which goes bang if the perag has been freed.
