That's not a crash. That is xfs detecting on disk corruption which likely happened at some time prior. You should unmount and run xfs_repair, possibly with –n first if you would like to do a dry run to see what it might do. If you get fresh corruption after a full repair, then that becomes more interesting. It's possible that you have a problem with the underlying block layer or it's possible that it is an xfs bug - but I think this is not something that we have seen before.
