/*
- * This function must be called when inode is journaled in ordered mode
- * before truncation happens. It starts writeout of truncated part in
- * case it is in the committing transaction so that we stand to ordered
- * mode consistency guarantees.
+ * File truncate and transaction commit interact with each other in a
+ * non-trivial way. If a transaction writing data block A is
+ * committing, we cannot discard the data by truncate until we have
+ * written them. Otherwise if we crashed after the transaction with
+ * write has committed but before the transaction with truncate has
+ * committed, we could see stale data in block A. This function is a
+ * helper to solve this problem. It starts writeout of the truncated
+ * part in case it is in the committing transaction.
+ *
+ * Filesystem code must call this function when inode is journaled in
+ * ordered mode before truncation happens and after the inode has been
+ * placed on orphan list with the new inode size. The second condition
+ * avoids the race that someone writes new data and we start
+ * committing the transaction after this function has been called but
+ * before a transaction for truncate is started (and furthermore it
+ * allows us to optimize the case where the addition to orphan list
+ * happens in the same transaction as write --- we don't have to write
+ * any data in such case).
