+ * Insert a new extent into the busy tree.
+ *
+ * The busy extent tree is indexed by the start block of the busy extent.
+ * there can be multiple overlapping ranges in the busy extent tree but only
+ * ever one entry at a given start block. The reason for this is that
+ * multi-block extents can be freed, then smaller chunks of that extent
+ * allocated and freed again before the first transaction commit is on disk.
+ * If the exact same start block is freed a second time, we have to wait for
+ * that busy extent to pass out of the tree before the new extent is inserted.
+ * There are two main cases we have to handle here.
+ *
+ * The first case is a transaction that triggers a "free - allocate - free"
+ * cycle. This can occur during btree manipulations as a btree block is freed
+ * to the freelist, then allocated from the free list, then freed again. In
+ * this case, the second extxpnet free is what triggers the duplicate and as
+ * such the transaction IDs should match. Because the extent was allocated in
+ * this transaction, the transaction must be marked as synchronous. This is
+ * true for all cases where the free/alloc/free occurs in the one transaction,
+ * hence the addition of the ASSERT(tp->t_flags & XFS_TRANS_SYNC) to this case.
+ * This serves to catch violations of the second case quite effectively.
+ *
+ * The second case is where the free/alloc/free occur in different
+ * transactions. In this case, the thread freeing the extent the second time
+ * can't mark the extent busy immediately because it is already tracked in a
+ * transaction that may be committing.  When the log commit for the existing
+ * busy extent completes, the busy extent will be removed from the tree. If we
+ * allow the second busy insert to continue using that busy extent structure,
+ * it can be freed before this transaction is safely in the log.  Hence our
+ * only option in this case is to force the log to remove the existing busy
+ * extent from the list before we insert the new one with the current
+ * transaction ID.
+ *
+ * The problem we are trying to avoid in the free-alloc-free in separate
+ * transactions is most easily described with a timeline:
+ *
+ *      Thread 1	Thread 2	Thread 3	xfslogd
+ *	xact alloc
+ *	free X
+ *	mark busy
+ *	commit xact
+ *	free xact
+ *			xact alloc
+ *			alloc X
+ *			busy search
+ *			mark xact sync
+ *			commit xact
+ *			free xact
+ *			force log
+ *			checkpoint starts
+ *			....
+ *					xact alloc
+ *					free X
+ *					mark busy
+ *					finds match
+ *					*** KABOOM! ***
+ *					....
+ *							log IO completes
+ *							unbusy X
+ *			checkpoint completes
+ *
+ * By issuing a log force in thread 3 @ "KABOOM", the thread will block until
+ * the checkpoint completes, and the busy extent it matched will have been
+ * removed from the tree when it is woken. Hence it can then continue safely.
+ *
+ * However, to ensure this matching process is robust, we need to use the
+ * transaction ID for identifying transaction, as delayed logging results in
+ * the busy extent and transaction lifecycles being different. i.e. the busy
+ * extent is active for a lot longer than the transaction.  Hence the
+ * transaction structure can be freed and reallocated, then mark the same
+ * extent busy again in the new transaction. In this case the new transaction
+ * will have a different tid but can have the same address, and hence we need
+ * to check against the tid.
+ *
+ * Future: for delayed logging, we could avoid the log force if the extent was
+ * first freed in the current checkpoint sequence. This, however, requires the
+ * ability to pin the current checkpoint in memory until this transaction
+ * commits to ensure that both the original free and the current one combine
+ * logically into the one checkpoint. If the checkpoint sequences are
+ * different, however, we still need to wait on a log force.

+ * The amount of log space we should the CIL to aggregate is difficult to size.

+ * induces too much latency when writing out through the iclogs. We track both
+ * space consumed and the number of vectors in the checkpoint context, so we
+ * need to decide which to use for limiting.
+ *
+ * Every log buffer we write out during a push needs a header reserved, which
+ * is at least one sector and more for v2 logs. Hence we need a reservation of
+ * at least 512 bytes per 32k of log space just for the LR headers. That means
+ * 16KB of reservation per megabyte of delayed logging space we will consume,
+ * plus various headers.  The number of headers will vary based on the num of
+ * io vectors, so limiting on a specific number of vectors is going to result
+ * in transactions of varying size. IOWs, it is more consistent to track and
+ * limit space consumed in the log rather than by the number of objects being
+ * logged in order to prevent checkpoint ticket overruns.
+ *
+ * Further, use of static reservations through the log grant mechanism is
+ * problematic. It introduces a lot of complexity (e.g. reserve grant vs write
+ * grant) and a significant deadlock potential because regranting write space
+ * can block on log pushes. Hence if we have to regrant log space during a log
+ * push, we can deadlock.
+ *
+ * However, we can avoid this by use of a dynamic "reservation stealing"
+ * technique during transaction commit whereby unused reservation space in the
+ * transaction ticket is transferred to the CIL ctx commit ticket to cover the
+ * space needed by the checkpoint transaction. This means that we never need to
+ * specifically reserve space for the CIL checkpoint transaction, nor do we
+ * need to regrant space once the checkpoint completes. This also means the
+ * checkpoint transaction ticket is specific to the checkpoint context, rather
+ * than the CIL itself.
+ *
+ * With dynamic reservations, we can basically make up arbitrary limits for the
+ * checkpoint size so long as they don't violate any other size rules.  Hence
+ * the initial maximum size for the checkpoint transaction will be set to a
+ * quarter of the log or 8MB, which ever is smaller. 8MB is an arbitrary limit
+ * right now based on the latency of writing out a large amount of data through
