This
        ret = ocfs2_prepare_inode_for_write(file, ppos, count, appending,
                                            &can_do_direct, &has_refcount);
being done before generic_write_checks().  It actually duplicates some
parts of generic_write_checks() inside (O_APPEND-related, and AFAICS
they _are_ triggered twice that way).
