+ * be idle. That means the CIL, the AIL and the iclogs needs to be empty before
+ * we start attempting to cover the log.
  *
- * Because this is called as part of the sync process, we should also indicate
- * that dummy transactions should be issued in anything but the covered or
- * idle states. This ensures that the log tail is accurately reflected in
- * the log at the end of the sync, hence if a crash occurrs avoids replay
- * of transactions where the metadata is already on disk.
+ * Only if we are then in a state where covering is needed, the caller is
+ * informed that dummy transactions are required to move the log into the idle
+ * state.
+ *
+ * If there are any items in the AIl or CIL, then we do not want to attempt to
+ * cover the log as we may be in a situation where there isn't log space
+ * available to run a dummy transaction and this can lead to deadlocks when the
+ * tail of the log is pinned by an item that is modified in the CIL.  Hence
+ * there's no point in running a dummy transaction at this point because we
+ * can't start trying to idle the log until both the CIL and AIL are empty.
