[solved] Metadata confusion/corruption with linux-grsec-4.4.2 - wow!!

Okay, here's what I'm dealing with: Ever since I updated to the new grsec kernel today, logging in - after I unlock my cryptsetup partitions - gives me a TON of cryptic metadata corruption messages on my /var partition.  I've reiserfsck'ed it, because that's what it's always been, from a Live CD multiple times.  It mounts cleanly, opens, and all my files are accessible.  Reiserfsck reports no corruptions, nothing to replay, so there must not be any real problem with the partition. 

But there is.  All these messages are related to XFS (xfs_trans_read_buf_map, to be specific) and it's telling me to unmount as well as run xfs_repair.  If I use linux-grsec the boot process practically hangs, if I use grsec-fallback it'll move me through to the DE/console and let me log in without any problem, although the message output persists.

*scratches head*  What the heck?

Solved - downgraded to 4.3.5 and the messages have disappeared.  I'll be submitting this as a bug against the linux-grsec package.
