commit 6e643cd094de3bd0f97edcc1db0089afa24d909f upstream. The new attribute leaf buffer is not held locked across the transaction roll between the shortform->leaf modification and the addition of the new entry. As a result, the attribute buffer modification being made is not atomic from an operational perspective. Hence the AIL push can grab it in the transient state of "just created" after the initial transaction is rolled, because the buffer has been released. This leads to xfs_attr3_leaf_verify() asserting that hdr.count is zero, treating this as in-memory corruption, and shutting down the filesystem. Darrick ported the original patch to 4.15 and reworked it use the xfs_defer_bjoin helper and hold/join the buffer correctly across the second transaction roll.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
