Nothing to suggest that this is an XFS problem. Memory reclaim
triggered by network stack memory pressure is causing inode
eviction. While removing the page cache it's falling over in
the generic truncate code doing a radix tree lookup. That's all
generic code - XFS never touches the page cache radix tree directly.

I haven't seen this before - is this a new problem since you
upgraded your kernel to 4.1? Is it repeatable? if yes to both, then
a bisect may be in order to isolate the problematic commit...

Cheers,

Dave.
