The iclog callback chain has it's own lock. That was added way back in 2008 by myself to alleviate severe lock contention on the icloglock in commit 114d23aa ("[XFS] Per iclog callback chain lock"). This was long before delayed logging took the icloglock out of the hot transaction commit path and removed all contention on it. Hence the separate ic_callback_lock doesn't serve any scalability purpose anymore, and hasn't for close on a decade. Further, we only attach callbacks to iclogs in one place where we are already taking the icloglock soon after attaching the callbacks. We also have to drop the icloglock to run callbacks and grab it immediately afterwards again. So given that the icloglock is no longer hot, making it cover callbacks again doesn't really change the locking patterns very much at all. We also need to extend the icloglock to cover callback addition to fix a zero-day UAF in the CIL push code. This occurs when shutdown races with xlog_cil_push_work() and the shutdown runs the callbacks before the push releases the iclog. This results in the CIL context structure attached to the iclog being freed by the callback before the CIL push has finished referencing it, leading to UAF bugs. Hence, to avoid this UAF, we need the callback attachment to be atomic with post processing of the commit iclog and references to the structures being attached to the iclog. This requires holding the icloglock as that's the only way to serialise iclog state against a shutdown in progress. The result is we need to be using the icloglock to protect the callback list addition and removal and serialise them with shutdown. That makes the ic_callback_lock redundant and so it can be removed.
