  * Fast Commit Ineligibility
  * -------------------------
- * Not all operations are supported by fast commits today (e.g extended
- * attributes). Fast commit ineligibility is marked by calling one of the
- * two following functions:
- *
- * - ext4_fc_mark_ineligible(): This makes next fast commit operation to fall
- *   back to full commit. This is useful in case of transient errors.
  *
- * - ext4_fc_start_ineligible() and ext4_fc_stop_ineligible() - This makes all
- *   the fast commits happening between ext4_fc_start_ineligible() and
- *   ext4_fc_stop_ineligible() and one fast commit after the call to
- *   ext4_fc_stop_ineligible() to fall back to full commits. It is important to
- *   make one more fast commit to fall back to full commit after stop call so
- *   that it guaranteed that the fast commit ineligible operation contained
- *   within ext4_fc_start_ineligible() and ext4_fc_stop_ineligible() is
- *   followed by at least 1 full commit.
