If we are processing callbacks on an iclog, nothing can be concurrently adding callbacks to the loop. We only add callbacks to the iclog when they are in ACTIVE or WANT_SYNC state, and we explicitly do not add callbacks if the iclog is already in IOERROR state. The only way to have a dequeue racing with an enqueue is to be processing a shutdown without a direct reference to an iclog in ACTIVE or WANT_SYNC state. As the enqueue avoids this race condition, we only ever need a single dequeue operation in xlog_state_do_iclog_callbacks(). Hence we can remove the loop.

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.
