This looks like the result of an earlier error on the code
path at that initial warning there (known problem) - in the
current code there is a situation where we attempt metadata
readahead, cannot initialise a XFS buffer completely due to
low memory, but fail to correctly tear down that partially
created buffer when passing back the (recoverable) error.
We're working on a fix.
cheers.
