After commit 3da40c7b0898 ("ext4: only call ext4_truncate when size <= isize"), i_disksize could always be updated to i_size in ext4_setattr(), and we could sure that i_disksize <= i_size since holding inode lock and if i_disksize < i_size there are delalloc writes pending in the range upto i_size. If the end of the current write is <= i_size, there's no need to touch i_disksize since writeback will push i_disksize upto i_size eventually. So we can switch to check i_size instead of i_disksize in ext4_da_write_end() when write to the end of the file. we also could remove ext4_mark_inode_dirty() together because we defer inode dirtying to generic_write_end() or ext4_da_write_inline_data_end().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
