In xchk_da_btree_block_check_sibling(), there is an if statement on 
line 274 to check whether ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp is NULL:
    if (ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp)

When ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp is NULL, it is used on line 281: 
    xfs_trans_brelse(..., ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp);
        struct xfs_buf_log_item	*bip = bp->b_log_item;
        ASSERT(bp->b_transp == tp);

Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.

To fix these bugs, ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp is checked before
being used.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
