Then the node is used by hfs_btree_write(). There is a missing of hfs_bnode_get() after find the node. The issue happened in following path: <alloc> hfs_bmap_alloc hfs_bnode_find __hfs_bnode_create <- allocate a new node with refcnt 1. hfs_bnode_put <- decrease the refcnt <write> hfs_btree_write hfs_bnode_find __hfs_bnode_create hfs_bnode_findhash <- find the node without refcnt increased. hfs_bnode_put <- trigger the BUG_ON() since refcnt is 0.
