* The server process adds the redo bytes it needs to marker MK100 and moves the pointer clockwise, perhaps to marker MK200.
* The server process copies its redo into the just-allocated space and releases its redo allocation latch.
When redo copy latches are not used by server processes for copying redo into the redo log buffer, the log writer background process will need to acquire all the redo allocation latches, just to make sure it doesn't flush the redo log buffer while server processes are busy copying their redo into the redo log buffer.
