So the use-after-free here is on an inode item. You're tripping
over a buffer item.

Unfortunately, it is not the same problem - the problem I've just
hit is to do with a QA test that does a forced shutdown on an active
filesystem, and:

[1]kdb> xmount 0xe00000304393e238
.....
flags 0x440010 <FSSHUTDOWN IDELETE COMPAT_IOSIZE >

The filesystem was being shutdown so xfs_inode_item_destroy() just
frees the inode log item without removing it from the AIL. I'll fix that,
and see if i have any luck....

So I'd still try that patch i sent in the previous email...

Cheers,

Dave.
