[#LU-6351] LFSCK MDS crash: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference

While running the stability test from the LFSCK Phase 3 test plan, the primary MDS, containing MDT0 and MDT2, crashed. The stability test crates 150 directories with 10,000 object each; files, striped directories, links, etc. . Then one process calls LFSCK namespace over and over while another process deletes the 150 directories and objects and all other processes create directories with files, striped directories, etc.

The first LFSCK namespace on all four MDTs runs and completes. The second time LFSCK is called, the primary MDS crashes. When the MDT comes back, I see that the status of LFSCK is “crashed” :

do_facet mds1 lctl get_param -n mdd.scratch-MDT0000.lfsck_namespace
status = crashed
