I have never been able to trigger this in 4.6 and it's my failsafe
reboot (4.6.0).
In 4.7-rc1 it's just a matter of time before I hit it.
I do a lot of transactions, using git, extraction of tar.xz etc normally.
I am normally able to trigger this by a move of a big directory.
It gets stuck there, a kill -9 doesn't either.
So 4.6 is my safehaven to any xfs operation.
Thanks,

Reinoud.
