Append direct io do not change i_size in get block phase. It only move to orphan when starting write. After data is written to disk, it will delete itself from orphan and update i_size. So skip i_size change section in write_begin for direct io. And when there is no extents alloc, no meta data changes needed for direct io (since write_begin start trans for 2 reason: alloc extents & change i_size. Now none of them needed). So we can skip start trans procedure.
