Please describe the race condition in more detail and how the DIO/EOF
parallelization is supposed to work.

Inode size is now read outside of the inode lock, so it could change
until the lock is taken a few lines below.

Is it necessary to revalidate that 'pos + count < i_size' still holds
when the lock was taken as SHARED?
