I'll take a look.  The reason for the objdump was to try to work out
where in xfs_rename we were erroring out, but in your case:

xfs_rename+0x5ac/0x5af

I guess it's the trans_cancel at the very end of the function on the
goto <blah>: error cases.

Is there any chance you could instrument xfs_rename so that for every
goto abort_return and goto error_return you add a printk so we know
which one you hit?

Maybe something like:

printk("line %s error %d\n", __LINE__, error);

just before each goto, with appropriate braces {} sprinkled in as necessary?

I can send a patch if that helps.

Sorry for the brute-force debugging but not at all sure yet what this
may be.

Thanks,
