But at that point log recovery has started delayed writeback of inode buffers. As part of the aborted mount we try to flush out all delwri buffers, but at that point we have already freed the superblock, and set mp->m_sb_bp to NULL, and xfs_log_force_umount which gets called after the inode buffer writeback trips over it. Make xfs_log_force_umount a little more careful when accessing mp->m_sb_bp to avoid this.
