Okay, I will fix this.

So I should set ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp to NULL at the end of
the function xchk_da_btree_block_check_sibling()?
Like:
    if (ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp)
        xfs_trans_brelse(ds->dargs.trans,
                ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp);
    ds->state->altpath.blk[level].bp = NULL;


Best wishes,
