My root file system is xfs. As soon as I enable event for xfs_trans_read_buf `echo xfs:xfs_trans_read_buf >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_event`, I see a kernel panic. A little bit of debugging shows that bp->b_fspriv is NULL many a time when trace_xfs_trans_read_buf(bp->b_fspriv) is called. I do not have any idea about xfs filesystem. So, I am not sure, if it is expected to have bp->b_fspriv = NULL at this location. This patch fixes the issue, until we have a better fix.
