Cause

Trace hooks used by VxFS for name-space/metadata inodes are accessing the fields for checkpoint directory inode (created when mounted with ckptautomnt option), which, being extended name-space inode doesn't have all the field other inodes have.  DSI happens when trying to access the checkpoint directory inode.
