+ * simple_setsize - handle core mm and vfs requirements for file size change
+ * @inode: inode
+ * @newsize: new file size
+ *
+ * Returns 0 on success, -error on failure.
+ *
+ * simple_setsize must be called with inode_mutex held.
+ *
+ * simple_setsize will check that the requested new size is OK (see
+ * inode_newsize_ok), and then will perform the necessary i_size update
+ * and pagecache truncation (if necessary). It will be typically be called
+ * from the filesystem's setattr function when ATTR_SIZE is passed in.
+ *
+ * The inode itself must have correct permissions and attributes to allow
+ * i_size to be changed, this function then just checks that the new size
+ * requested is valid.
+ *
+ * In the case of simple in-memory filesystems with inodes stored solely
+ * in the inode cache, and file data in the pagecache, nothing more needs
+ * to be done to satisfy a truncate request. Filesystems with on-disk
+ * blocks for example will need to free them in the case of truncate, in
+ * that case it may be easier not to use simple_setsize (but each of its
+ * components will likely be required at some point to update pagecache
+ * and inode etc).
