+ * Allocate or pin log vector buffers for CIL insertion.
+ *
+ * The CIL currently uses disposable buffers for copying a snapshot of the
+ * modified items into the log during a push. The biggest problem with this is
+ * the requirement to allocate the disposable buffer during the commit if:
+ *	a) does not exist; or
+ *	b) it is too small
+ *
+ * If we do this allocation within xlog_cil_insert_format_items(), it is done
+ * under the xc_ctx_lock, which means that a CIL push cannot occur during
+ * the memory allocation. This means that we have a potential deadlock situation
+ * under low memory conditions when we have lots of dirty metadata pinned in
+ * the CIL and we need a CIL commit to occur to free memory.
+ *
+ * To avoid this, we need to move the memory allocation outside the
+ * xc_ctx_lock, but because the log vector buffers are disposable, that opens
+ * up a TOCTOU race condition w.r.t. the CIL committing and removing the log
+ * vector buffers between the check and the formatting of the item into the
+ * log vector buffer within the xc_ctx_lock.
+ *
+ * Because the log vector buffer needs to be unchanged during the CIL push
+ * process, we cannot share the buffer between the transaction commit (which
+ * modifies the buffer) and the CIL push context that is writing the changes
+ * into the log. This means skipping preallocation of buffer space is
+ * unreliable, but we most definitely do not want to be allocating and freeing
+ * buffers unnecessarily during commits when overwrites can be done safely.
+ *
+ * The simplest solution to this problem is to allocate a shadow buffer when a
+ * log item is committed for the second time, and then to only use this buffer
+ * if necessary. The buffer can remain attached to the log item until such time
+ * it is needed, and this is the buffer that is reallocated to match the size of
+ * the incoming modification. Then during the formatting of the item we can swap
+ * the active buffer with the new one if we can't reuse the existing buffer. We
+ * don't free the old buffer as it may be reused on the next modification if
+ * it's size is right, otherwise we'll free and reallocate it at that point.
+ *
+ * This function builds a vector for the changes in each log item in the
+ * transaction. It then works out the length of the buffer needed for each log
+ * item, allocates them and attaches the vector to the log item in preparation
+ * for the formatting step which occurs under the xc_ctx_lock.
+ *
+ * While this means the memory footprint goes up, it avoids the repeated
+ * alloc/free pattern that repeated modifications of an item would otherwise
+ * cause, and hence minimises the CPU overhead of such behaviour.
