-	 * We need to make sure the BH_Delay flag is passed down to
-	 * ext4_da_get_block_write(), since it calls ext4_get_blocks()

-	 * causes ext4_get_blocks() to call
-	 * ext4_da_update_reserve_space() if the passed buffer head
-	 * has the BH_Delay flag set.  In the future, once we clean up
-	 * the interfaces to ext4_get_blocks(), we should pass in a
-	 * separate flag which requests that the delayed allocation
-	 * statistics should be updated, instead of depending on the
-	 * state information getting passed down via the map_bh's
-	 * state bitmasks plus the magic
-	 * EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE flag.
+	 * Call ext4_get_blocks() to allocate any delayed allocation
+	 * blocks, or to convert an uninitialized extent to be
+	 * initialized (in the case where we have written into
+	 * one or more preallocated blocks).
+	 *
+	 * We pass in the magic EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE to
+	 * indicate that we are on the delayed allocation path.  This
+	 * affects functions in many different parts of the allocation
+	 * call path.  This flag exists primarily because we don't
+	 * want to change *many* call functions, so ext4_get_blocks()
+	 * will set the magic i_delalloc_reserved_flag once the
+	 * inode's allocation semaphore is taken.
+	 *
+	 * If the blocks in questions were delalloc blocks, set
+	 * EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE so the delalloc accounting
+	 * variables are updated after the blocks have been allocated.
