Reasonable.

The comment should explain why the code exists, not document what
the code does.

I think this would be better written as:

	/*
         * If we are using project inheritance, we only allow hard link
         * creation in our tree when the project IDs are the same; else
         * the tree quota mechanism could be circumvented.
         */
	if ((tdp->i_diflags & XFS_DIFLAG_PROJINHERIT) &&
	    tdp->i_projid != sip->i_projid) {
		/*
		 * Project quota setup skips special files which can
		 * leave inodes in a PROJINHERIT directory without a
		 * project ID set. We need to allow links to be made
		 * to these "project-less" inodes because userspace
		 * expects them to succeed after project ID setup,
		 * but everything else should be rejected.
		 */
		if (!special_file(VFS_I(sip)->i_mode) ||
		    sip->i_projid != 0) {
			error = -EXDEV;
			goto error_return;
		}
	}

Cheers,

Dave.
