From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> xfs_inactive_symlink_rmt() does something nasty - it joins an inode into a transaction it is already joined to. This means the inode can have multiple log item descriptors attached to the transaction for it. This breaks teh 1:1 mapping that is supposed to exist between the log item and log item descriptor. This results in the log item being processed twice during transaction commit and CIL formatting, and there are lots of other potential issues tha arise from double processing of log items in the transaction commit state machine. In this case, the inode is already held by the rolling transaction returned from xfs_defer_finish(), so there's no need to join it again.
