According to above, xfs_cil is waiting on log space to free up. This means xfs-cil is probably in: xlog_state_get_iclog_space() ->xlog_wait(&log->l_flush_wait, &log->l_icloglock); l_flush_wait is awoken during log I/O completion handling via the xfs-log workqueue.

Ilya, Have you looked into this[1] patch by any chance? Note that 7a29ac474 ("xfs: give all workqueues rescuer threads") may also be a potential band aid for this. Or IOW, the lack thereof in v3.18.z may make this problem more likely.
