For an appending write, ext3_commit_write() will call the expensive ext3_mark_inode_dirty() twice. Once in generic_commit_write()'s extension of i_size and once in ext3_commit_write() itself where i_disksize is updated. But by updating i_disksize _before_ calling generic_commit_write() these can be piggybacked. The patch takes the overhead of a write() from 1.96 microseconds down to 1.63.
