+ * This comment describes a historic gap in this verifier function.
+ *
+ * For a directory with both RTINHERIT and EXTSZINHERIT flags set, this
+ * function has never checked that the extent size hint is an integer
+ * multiple of the realtime extent size. Since we allow users to set
+ * this combination on non-rt filesystems /and/ to change the rt
+ * extent size when adding a rt device to a filesystem, the net effect
+ * is that users can configure a filesystem anticipating one rt
+ * geometry and change their minds later. Directories do not use the
+ * extent size hint, so this is harmless for them.
+ *
+ * If a directory with a misaligned extent size hint is allowed to
+ * propagate that hint into a new regular realtime file, the result
+ * is that the inode cluster buffer verifier will trigger a corruption
+ * shutdown the next time it is run, because the verifier has always
+ * enforced the alignment rule for regular files.
+ *
+ * Because we allow administrators to set a new rt extent size when
+ * adding a rt section, we cannot add a check to this verifier because
+ * that will result a new source of directory corruption errors when
+ * reading an existing filesystem. Instead, we rely on callers to
+ * decide when alignment checks are appropriate, and fix things up as
+ * needed.
