From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> The comment in xfs_file_aio_write_checks() about calling file_modified() after dropping the ilock doesn't make sense, because the code that unconditionally acquires and drops the ilock was removed by commit 467f78992a07 ("xfs: reduce ilock hold times in xfs_file_aio_write_checks"). Remove this outdated comment. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.
