It's trying to write way beyond the end of the device, hence the
error. I'd suggest updating to xfsprogs 3.11 and running
xfs_repair -n /dev/sda1 on the device and seeing if it finds a
corrupt block map on an inode somewhere.

It can't be stuck in an uninterruptible sleep (D state) and
consuming CPU at the same time....

That's a 6 year old kernel. I'd suggest that an upgrade to something
more recent might be in order...
Cheers,
Dave.
