 /*
- * ext4_dir_llseek() based on generic_file_llseek() to handle both
- * non-htree and htree directories, where the "offset" is in terms
- * of the filename hash value instead of the byte offset.
+ * ext4_dir_llseek() calls generic_file_llseek_size to handle htree
+ * directories, where the "offset" is in terms of the filename hash
+ * value instead of the byte offset.
  *
- * NOTE: offsets obtained *before* ext4_set_inode_flag(dir, EXT4_INODE_INDEX)
- *       will be invalid once the directory was converted into a dx directory
+ * Because we may return a 64-bit hash that is well beyond offset limits,
+ * we need to pass the max hash as the maximum allowable offset in
+ * the htree directory case.
+ *
+ * For non-htree, ext4_llseek already chooses the proper max offset.
