I see. I should have read the code more carefully.

Subject: [PATCH] XFS: remove the description about the default value of "allocsize=" mount option
The end-of-file preallocation size is dynamic by default.
So there is no static default size specified by "allocsize="
mount option and the description about the default size
should be removed.
