I still don't see the reason behind these assertions. It just
doesn't make any sense to me that it can't be handled once the EFI
has been attached to the EFD, nor why checking AIL status in
__xfs_efi_release() does not work correctly...

This is inconsistent from a high level logic point of view. The EFI
is attached to the EFD after a call to xfs_trans_get_efd() and so
cleanup on failure should always occur through the IOP* interfaces
(specifically xfs_efd_item_unlock() with an aborted log item).
The only case where a xfs_efi_release() call is required is the
xfs_trans_reserve() failure case, where nothing in the current
transaction context owns the reference on the EFI we are going to
pass to the EFD.

"Abort" is not necessary. If it's the last reference, and the EFI is
in the AIL, then it needs to be removed. i.e. the check shoul dbe
against XFS_LI_IN_AIL, not against a flag passed in by the caller.

If that is true, then ASSERT() it rather than comment about it.

We are not freeing the EFI here - we are simply releasing the
reference the EFD holds on it because we are about to free the EFD.
Nothing else actually matters here - we don't care whether the EFI
is in the AIL or not, because that can be handled internally to
the xfs_efi_release() code....

All this abort logic can go away if __xfs_efi_release()
handles the AIL state internally and all the EFD does is drop the
reference to the EFI it owns. This function simply becomes:
{
struct xfs_efd_log_item *efdp = EFD_ITEM(lip);
xfs_efi_release(efdp->efd_efip, efdp->efd_format.efd_nextents);
xfs_efd_item_free(efdp);
return (xfs_lsn_t)-1;
}
No conditional behaviour, always does the same thing regardless of
caller context.

Yet another place that has to know what the state of the EFI is to
handle it correctly....
