Yes, this would be work. Just FYI for people, probably you know though,
inode->i_size has race on 32bit arch. It is 64bit value, so,

        *size += blocksize;

means something like the following. E.g.

        load 0x0(size), %reg1
        load 0x4(size), %reg2
        add blocksize, %reg1
        add-carry %reg2
        store %reg1, 0x0(size)
                                <---- (W)
        store %reg2, 0x4(size)

So, block I/O library like block_write_full_page() can read the size at
(W) point. The result may be bogus size.

We have to fix this later, maybe change with phtree. (don't read i_size
without lock, or use i_size_read()/i_size_write())
