if this turns out to be a false alarm bug report.

My first encounter with this issue involved fsstress. Here's part of a
`crash`
session from the fsstress run.

root@oldsvrhw:/mnt/crashdump/xfs-fsstress-max-acl-2# crash vmlinux
System.map vmcore
crash 7.0.4
...
Thanks!

Michael, do you have the vmcore dump for this or was this just from the
messages.

Thanks.

--Mark.

ummm, duh me. you were running crash ...

Can I look at the core?

--Mark.

Sure! I've uploaded two sets of core dumps (vmcore, vmlinux, System.map,
config, sample crash session) and put them here for a short time:


Both are buffer - like your trace shows that is was updating on the AIL
and it really is but in both crashes the log item ail next link has been
NULLed:

xfs-fsstress-max-acl-2:
crash> xfs_buf_log_item dde37370
struct xfs_buf_log_item {
bli_item = {
li_ail = {
next = 0x0,
prev = 0xdc01d6e8

xfs-fsstress-max-acl-3:
crash> xfs_buf_log_item db5bf0b0
struct xfs_buf_log_item {
bli_item = {
li_ail = {
next = 0x0,
prev = 0xdb5bf4d0
},

not good.

--Mark.

PS. I don't know if this will help but I followed the xfs_log_items backwards to xfs_ail and that is okay. The prev pointer on the ail is pointing to a corrupted chain:

crash> xfs_ail ddc81d80
struct xfs_ail {
  xa_mount = 0xddd6b800,
  xa_task = 0xddec5580,
  xa_ail = {
    next = 0xdb04b210,
    prev = 0xddca60d0
  },

..
crash> xfs_log_item ddca60d0
struct xfs_log_item {
  li_ail = {
    next = 0xddc81d88,   <- correct, the xfs_ail
    prev = 0xdb5bf580
  },
...
crash> xfs_log_item db5bf580
struct xfs_log_item {
  li_ail = {
    next = 0xdbab6000,   <- wrong, points to a small xfs_item loop.
    prev = 0xde92fcf0
  },

...
small loop:
crash> xfs_log_item de92fcf0
struct xfs_log_item {
  li_ail = {
    next = 0xdb5bf580,
    prev = 0xdb04b370
  },

crash> xfs_log_item db04b370
struct xfs_log_item {
  li_ail = {
    next = 0xde92fcf0,
    prev = 0xdb04b420
  },

crash> xfs_log_item db04b420
struct xfs_log_item {
  li_ail = {
    next = 0xdb04b370,
    prev = 0xdb5bf630
  },

crash> xfs_log_item db5bf630
struct xfs_log_item {
  li_ail = {
    next = 0xdb04b420,
    prev = 0xdbab6000  <- !!
  },

crash> xfs_log_item dbab6000
struct xfs_log_item {
  li_ail = {
    next = 0xdb5bf630,
    prev = 0xdb5bf580   <- end of small loop.
  },

something is happening in an ail insert or delete.
