Prior to commit df732b29c8 ("xfs: call xlog_state_release_iclog with
l_icloglock held"), xlog_state_release_iclog() always performed a
locked check of the iclog error state before proceeding into the
sync state processing code. As of this commit, part of
xlog_state_release_iclog() was open-coded into
xfs_log_release_iclog() and as a result the locked error state check
was lost.
The lockless check still exists, but this doesn't account for the
possibility of a race with a shutdown being performed by another
task causing the iclog state to change while the original task waits
on ->l_icloglock. This has reproduced very rarely via generic/475
and manifests as an assert failure in __xlog_state_release_iclog()
due to an unexpected iclog state.
Restore the locked error state check in xlog_state_release_iclog()
to ensure that an iclog state update via shutdown doesn't race with
the iclog release state processing code.

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.
