I see that the FS is being mounted with "discard". So maybe it was a TRIM gone
bad (wrong location or in a wrong sequence).

Generally it appears to be not recommended to use "discard" by now (because of
its performance impact, and maybe possible issues like this), instead schedule
to call "fstrim <mountpoint>" once a day or so, and/or on boot-up.

Time and time again, the default of "single" metadata for SSD is a terrible
idea. Most likely DUP metadata would save the FS in this case.
