It is - the assert doesn't exist on a non-DEBUG kernel, so it won't
fail. ;)

It looks like another case of this problem:

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2012-09/msg00021.html

Which appears to be another case of the failure that Eric reported
he was seeing on test 137:

http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2012-08/msg00019.html
http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2012-09/msg00017.html

i.e. what appears to be a double free of a buffer during a forced
shutdown. The b_hold assertion that is being hit here is just prior
to doing the second free of a buffer.  Given that Eric's case was
bisected down to the delwri queuing changes, I'd say this is the
same cause of this issue. i.e. unrelated to the patch set that was
posted.

What I can't work out is what reference is going missing, and I
can't reproduce it to be able to debug it....

Cheers,

Dave.
