It means individual FS can call in a generic atomic write validation helper instead of implementing of their own. Hence generic_atomic_write_valid(). So for e.g. blkdev_atomic_write_valid() function and maybe iomap (or ext4 or xfs) can use a generic_atomic_write_valid() helper routine to validate an atomic write request. -ritesh
