I will test your patch later.

Git-bisect gave me this result thus far:

9026e521c0da0731eb31f9f9022dd00cc3cd8885 is bad
82f04ab47e1d94d78503591a7460b2cad9601ede is good

When I continue the bisection with 4345caba340f051e10847924fc078ae18ed6695c
the system will start normally, but it then silently corrupts my xfs
partitions. And on next (re)boot I get this (only fixable with
xfs_repair):
