Oh, that's looks like a bug in xfs_iflush() - we are forcing the log
to unpin a buffer we already own the lock on. It's the same problem
we had in the discard code fixed by commit 8c81dd46ef3c ("Force log
to disk before reading the AGF during a fstrim").

It also means that the log forces in the busy extent code have the
same potential problem, as does xfs_qm_dqflush().

I'll move further down the discussion now....

Cheers,

Dave.
