Given that this is where the policy is implemented now, this comment:
/*
* COW fork extents are supposed to remain unwritten until we're ready
* to initiate a disk write. For direct I/O we are going to write the
* data and need the conversion, but for buffered writes we're done.
*/
from xfs_reflink_convert_unwritten should probably move here now.

I'd probably thread the flags argument all the way through
xfs_reflink_convert_unwritten as that documents the intent better.
