Actually, I checked that before commenting on it - the original
comment is correct:

 626                 /*
 627                  * even after flushing the inode, there can still be delalloc
 628                  * blocks on the inode beyond EOF due to speculative
 629                  * preallocation. These are not removed until the release
 630                  * function is called or the inode is inactivated. Hence we
 631                  * cannot assert here that ip->i_delayed_blks == 0.
 632                  */

I wouldn't have pointed at it if the original code had that
problem... :/

Cheers,

Dave.
