What commit is that? gitweb search tells me it's an nmi watchdog
change. Doesn't seem likely to change XFS behaviour - can
you post a url to the commit?

With the above commit?

without the above commit?

Curious - never seen this before - possibly a corrupted inode
number in the directory has led to this.

Hmm - these could simply be follow-on errors from the first
problem - the buffer would now probably be bad or corrupted,
and the directory buffer read code here is saying the buffer
is bad. All the errors appear to have thesame data in the buffer
(which is lacking the correct magic numbers) so i'd say they
are related to the above error.

Can you run xfs_repair on that filesystem and see if reports
(and fixes) any problems?

Cheers,

Dave.
