Hi,

A few trivial comments inline.  May be more because I'm not that familiar
with xa_array than anything else.

This error flow is perhaps a little more confusing than it needs to be?

My assumption (perhaps wrong) is that we only have an id == INVALID_IOASID
if the xa_alloc fails, and that we will always have such an id value if
it does (I'm not totally sure this second element is true in __xa_alloc).

If I'm missing something perhaps a comment on how else we'd get here.

Perhaps should make it clear that @set can be null.

Set in all paths, so does need to be set here.
