This is due to an interaction between the changes introduced in illumos#8064 and our v_path logic. In two cases (the dnlc and nfs4), vn_reinit() is used to initialize locally defined vnodes. This is a departure from the expected case where vnodes are sourced from vn_alloc() (where they are constructed to have an initialized v_path). As a result, the NULL v_path in those locally defined vnodes will raise an assertion in vn_recycle.

It seems like the simple path forward is to add a v_path == NULL check to vn_reinit(), keeping v_path manipulations abstracted from VFS consumers.
