Adding a list_sort() call to the CIL push work while the xc_ctx_lock is held exclusively has resulted in fairly long lock hold times and that stops all front end transaction commits from making progress. We can move the sorting out of the xc_ctx_lock if we can transfer the ordering information to the log vectors as they are detached from the log items and then we can sort the log vectors. With these changes, we can move the list_sort() call to just before we call xlog_write() when we aren't holding any locks at all.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
