Access to log items on the AIL is generally protected by m_ail_lock; this is particularly needed when we're getting or setting the 64-bit li_lsn on a 32-bit platform. This patch fixes a couple places where we were accessing the log item after dropping the AIL lock on 32-bit machines. This can result in a partially-zeroed log->l_tail_lsn if xfs_trans_ail_delete is racing with xfs_trans_ail_update, and in at least some cases, this can leave the l_tail_lsn with a zero cycle number, which means xlog_space_left will think the log is full (unless CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is set, in which case we'll trip an ASSERT), leading to processes stuck forever in xlog_grant_log_space. Thanks to Adrian VanderSpek for first spotting the race potential and to Dave Chinner for debug assistance. Signed-off-by: Nathaniel W.
