so this got EINVAL:

#define EINVAL          22      /* Invalid argument */

which shut down the filesystem:

leading to IO errors after that:

#define EIO              5      /* I/O error */

I'd probably start with xfs_repair (with -n if you want a dry run)
and see if it finds any metadata corruption, first.
