i`m running an xfs filesystem over device going offline/online and

i wonder if the following call path combined with disk online/offline
handling could have led to this crash:
--------------
xfs_unmountfs()
xfs_log_unmount_write(mp)
xlog_state_release_iclog(log)
xlog_sync(log, iclog = log->l_iclog)

xlog_bdstrat(bp)
(iclog->ic_state != XLOG_STATE_ERROR ? )
xfs_buf_iorequest(bp)
xfs_buf_ioend (called with scheduling (*) )
(queues : bp->b_iodone_work,
callback: xlog_iodone)
xfs_log_unmount(mp)
xfs_trans_ail_destroy(mp);
xlog_dealloc_log(mp->m_log); /*frees and nullifies all iclog->ic_log*/
-----------
(after we`ve cleaned up log structures we switch processes*)
xlog_iodone(bp)
{
iclog = bp->private
l = iclog->ic_log
if (XFS_TEST_ERROR((XFS_BUF_GETERROR(bp)), l->l_mp,
XFS_ERRTAG_IODONE_IOERR, XFS_RANDOM_IODONE_IOERR))
{
xfs_buf_ioerror_alert(bp, __func__);
XFS_BUF_STALE(bp);
/*l ?= NULL*/ xfs_force_shutdown(l->l_mp, SHUTDOWN_LOG_IO_ERROR);
}
}
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Looks like the log unmount record can't get written because of the disk
being offline.
When the write times out, the log structures are long gone.
I bet if you used memory poisoning, the iclog->ic_log would not work either.
--Mark.
