Thanks Jan,
Also ext4_inode_extension_cleanup() function can take care of deleting
the inode from the orphan list in case if there is a race with truncate
which extended made both i_disksize and inode->i_size and the DIO
completion couldn't call ext4_handle_inode_extension(), right?
In that case, does it make sense to update a comment here too?
