Yes, this is due to a leftover from the directory i_size patchset that
had to be reverted. As long as it's not causing issues it'll be a bit
before I get to it, I've got higher priority bugs I'm working on right
now (as usual).

Hongbo, whatever happened to that patchset? I thought you were going to
fix it so we could get it back in later?
