So this seems to imply that 'size' is really offset where IO started but
ext4_update_inode_size(inode, size) above suggests 'size' is really where
IO has ended and that's indeed what you pass into
ext4_handle_inode_extension(). So I'd just make the calling convention for
ext4_handle_inode_extension() less confusing and pass 'offset' and 'len'
and fixup the math inside the function...

Otherwise the patch looks OK to me.
