XFS doesn't use the bh->b_assoc_buffers field at all, so nothing in
XFS should ever corrupt it. Do you have any extN filesystems active,
or any other filesystems/block devices that use bufferheads than
might have a use after free bug? e.g. a long time ago (circa
~2.6.16, IIRC) we had a bufferhead corruption problem detected in
XFS that was actually caused by a reiserfs use after free.

Cheers,

Dave.
