I would not include this comment.

what tsting did you do with this?  Because you don't actually _use_
buf_flags anywhere in this patch (presumably they should be the
sixth argument to xfs_trans_read_buf_map() instead of 0).  So I can only
conclude that either you didn't test, or your testing was inadequate.

I don't think this ASSERT is appropriate.

'generic' doesn't seem like a great suffix to mean 'takes nowait flag'.
And this is far too far indented.

			xfs_dir2_lock(dp, ctx, lock_mode);

with:

STATIC void xfs_dir2_lock(struct xfs_inode *dp, struct dir_context *ctx,
		unsigned int lock_mode)
{
	if (*lock_mode)
		return;
	if (ctx->flags & DIR_CONTEXT_F_NOWAIT)
		return xfs_ilock_data_map_shared_nowait(dp);
	return xfs_ilock_data_map_shared(dp);
}

... which I think you can use elsewhere in this patch (reformat it to
XFS coding style, of course).  And then you don't need
xfs_ilock_data_map_shared_generic().
