Is this description accurate? It doesn't seem to be modifying s_inode_size, per-se, but rather zeroing the whole inode if it is a new inode that was never read from disk.

Doh, skimmed too fast, you're right. I'll resend a V2 w/ the proper description, sorry about that. :)

Other than the above description the patch looks correct.
