This is an XFS panic, it basically means you ran out of memory in a place
where XFS really cannot afford to do so. How much memory are you running with,
and what sort of filesystem configuration are you writing data into? If you
are running a highmem system on top of lvm or md then there are possibilities
for this sort of thing happening. Also, is this something you have successfully
done before with other xfs kernels?
