i_size_read does more than reading a value, it's best that we use it
only when we need it.

It seems that we need to get isize after grabbing i_mutex below in order to
avoid data race.

See if I got this right, isize should remain unchanged during the entire procedure, so we need
to add i_mutex upon it, and since there is already a i_mutex,  we can get inode->i_size
directly instead of calling i_read_size.
Is that right?

Right, but I prefer to use i_size_read consistently.
TOH, I'm not convincing why you're treating this as a so costly operation.

Yes, the difference between i_size_read and assignment is very small. I just think it's best
to squeeze every bit of performance out of codes.

If the consistence is a more pressing issue, then i_size_read it is.
