Now that we have a mechanism to guarantee that the callbacks attached to an iclog are owned by the context that attaches them until they drop their reference to the iclog via xlog_state_release_iclog(), we can attach callbacks to the iclog at any time we have an active reference to the iclog. xlog_state_get_iclog_space() always guarantees that the commit record will fit in the iclog it returns, so we can move this IO callback setting to xlog_cil_set_ctx_write_state(), record the commit iclog in the context and remove the need for the commit iclog to be returned by xlog_write() altogether. This, in turn, allows us to move the wakeup for ordered commit record writes up into xlog_cil_set_ctx_write_state(), too, because we have been guaranteed that this commit record will be physically located in the iclog before any waiting commit record at a higher sequence number will be granted iclog space. This further cleans up the post commit record write processing in the CIL push code, especially as xlog_state_release_iclog() will now clean up the context when shutdown errors occur.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
