What would happen in the following scenario?

mount -t xfs /dev/somedevice /mnt/tmp
touch /mnt/tmp/testfile
touch /mnt/tmp/Testfile
touch /mnt/tmp/TESTFILE

mount -t xfs -o remount,ci /dev/somedevice /mnt/tmp
rm /mnt/tmp/testfile

(I think I do not understand enough of XFS to read that myself out of your 
patch.)

Ciao,
