From 77783d06427293b2d711c45cfd4abc6494a1af9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kara Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2014 08:29:25 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] mm: Fix comment before truncate_setsize() XFS doesn't always hold i_mutex when calling truncate_setsize() and it uses a different lock to serialize truncates and writes. So fix the comment before truncate_setsize().
