- * If this is a leaf and there are tree mod log users, we may
- * have recorded mod log operations that point to this leaf.
- * So we must make sure no one reuses this leaf's extent before
- * mod log operations are applied to a node, otherwise after
- * rewinding a node using the mod log operations we get an
- * inconsistent btree, as the leaf's extent may now be used as
- * a node or leaf for another different btree.
+ * If there are tree mod log users we may have recorded mod log
+ * operations for this node. If we re-allocate this node we
+ * could replay operations on this node that happened when it
+ * existed in a completely different root. For example if it
+ * was part of root A, then was reallocated to root B, and we
+ * are doing a btrfs_old_search_slot(root b), we could replay
+ * operations that happened when the block was part of root A,
+ * giving us an inconsistent view of the btree.
+ *
* We are safe from races here because at this point no other
* node or root points to this extent buffer, so if after this
- * check a new tree mod log user joins, it will not be able to
- * find a node pointing to this leaf and record operations that
- * point to this leaf.
+ * check a new tree mod log user joins we will not have an
+ * existing log of operations on this node that we have to
+ * contend with.
