    xfs: unlock items before allowing the CIL to commit · d17c701c

    When we commit a transaction using delayed logging, we need to
    unlock the items in the transaciton before we unlock the CIL context
    and allow it to be checkpointed. If we unlock them after we release
    the CIl context lock, the CIL can checkpoint and complete before
    we free the log items. This breaks stale buffer item unlock and
    unpin processing as there is an implicit assumption that the unlock
    will occur before the unpin.
    
    Also, some log items need to store the LSN of the transaction commit
    in the item (inodes and EFIs) and so can race with other transaction
    completions if we don't prevent the CIL from checkpointing before
    the unlock occurs.
