+/*
+ * Flush and reclaim dirty inodes in preparation for unmount. Inodes and
+ * internal inode structures can be sitting in the CIL and AIL at this point,
+ * so we need to unpin them, write them back and/or reclaim them before unmount
+ * can proceed.
+ *
+ * An inode cluster that has been freed can have its buffer still pinned in
+ * memory because the transaction is still sitting in a iclog. The stale inodes
+ * on that buffer will be pinned to the buffer until the transaction hits the
+ * disk and the callbacks run. Pushing the AIL will skip the stale inodes and
+ * may never see the pinned buffer, so nothing will push out the iclog and
+ * unpin the buffer.
+ *
+ * Hence we need to force the log to unpin everything first. However, log
+ * forces don't wait for the discards they issue to complete, so we have to
+ * explicitly wait for them to complete here as well.
+ *
+ * Then we can tell the world we are unmounting so that error handling knows
+ * that the filesystem is going away and we should error out anything that we
+ * have been retrying in the background.  This will prevent never-ending
+ * retries in AIL pushing from hanging the unmount.
+ *
+ * Finally, we can push the AIL to clean all the remaining dirty objects, then
+ * reclaim the remaining inodes that are still in memory at this point in time.
