Threads, which committed items to the CIL, wait in the xc_push_wait waitqueue when used_space in the push context goes over a limit. These threads need to be woken when the CIL is pushed. The CIL push worker tries to avoid the overhead of calling wake_all() when there are no waiters waiting. It does so by checking the same condition which caused the waits to happen. This, however, is unreliable, because ctx->space_used can actually decrease when items are recommitted. If the value goes below the limit while some threads are already waiting but before the push worker gets to it, these threads are not woken. Always wake all CIL push waiters. Test with waitqueue_active() as an optimization. This is possible, because we hold the xc_push_lock spinlock, which prevents additions to the waitqueue.
