I got an email about this last night with a different trigger - thin
provisioning failing log IO in the unmount path. I know what the
problem is, I just don't have a fix for it yet.

To confirm it's the same problem, can you post the entirity of the
dmesg where the error occurs?

In essence, the log IO failure is triggering a shutdown, and as part
of the shutdown process it wakes anyone waiting on a log force.
The log quiesce code that waits for log completion during unmount
uses a log force to ensure the log is idle before tearing down all
the log structures and finishing the unmount. Unfortunatey, the log
force the unmount blocks on is woken prematurely by the shutdown,
and hence it runs before the log IO processing is completed. Hence
the use after free.

Similar symptoms, but not the same bug.

Seems similar to the thinp ENOSPC issue I mentioned above - data IO
errors occur, then you do an unmount, which causes a log IO error
writing the superblock, and then this happens....
