We have this unclear comment at find_extent_clone() about extents starting at a file offset greater than or equals to the i_size of the inode. It's not really informative and it's misleading, since it mentions the author found such extents with snapshots and large files. Such extents are a result of fallocate with FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE and there is no relation to snapshots or large files (all write paths update the i_size before inserting a new file extent item). So update the comment to be precise about it and why we don't bother looking for clone sources in that case.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
