What's the reason for this patch?

This assumes we are walking fully instantiated VFS inodes. That's
not necessarily true - we may be walking inodes that have already
been dropped from the VFS and are waiting for background reclaim to
clean them up. I suspect that this doesn't need to be done - we
normally stop background modification processes like this when we
convert the filesystem to read-only. I suspect the eof-blocks scan
code is missing that, and so it can potentially run on a RO
filesystem. That needs fixing similar to the way we stop and start
the periodic log work...

Also, gcc should throw warnings on that code (strange, it didn't
here on gcc-4.7) as it needs more parenthesis. i.e

		if ((eofb->eof_flags & XFS_EOF_FLAGS_PERM_CHECK) &&

Oh, I see you are just copying other code. How did I miss that in a
past review? :( 

Hmmm - it looks like there's a bunch of them in xfs_inode_match_id()
as well, and you touched all those if() statements in a previous
patch. can you go back to the patch that touches
xfs_inode_match_id() and add the extra () there as well?

We should be checking for the fs being RO here and aborting if it
is.

Cheers,

Dave.
