The reported trace looks similar to 394, but this is a new
and unfamiliar failure mode (to my eyes).
As Jeff said we are actively working on filecache refcounting
issues. The challenge is that none of the bug reports include
a reliable reproducer.
I should also mention that we believe some or all of these
issues predate the filecache overhaul done in 6.0, so I'm
not ready to confirm this as a regression in that kernel.
We've seen similar failures reported in kernels as old as
5.15.
Thus my intention is to pursue a conservative approach for
now, and fix this for v6.2 rather than pushing it into v6.1.
