The reason > behind is, the VOP would possibly extend the file size. It is up to VOP. As a note, you generally cannot upgrade from shared to exclusive without dropping the lock. This opens a possibility for the vnode to be reclaimed, which means that VOP can no longer safely operate on the vnode. If the scope is not just a VOP call from top of VFS, then again it might be not safe to continue the operation.
