Where's XFS in this? walk_tg_tree_from() is part of the scheduler
code. This kind of implies a stack corruption....

.... and there you go - a stack overflow. Your kernel stack size is
too small.

I'd suggest that you need 16k stacks on s390 - IIRC every function
call has 128 byte stack frame, and there are call chains 70-80
functions deep in the storage stack...

Cheers,

Dave.
