- * ntfs_write_volume_flags - write new flags to the volume information flags
+ * ntfs_write_volume_flags - apply flag changes to the volume information flags
  * @vol:	ntfs volume on which to modify the flags
- * @flags:	new flags value for the volume information flags
+ * @set_bits:	bits to set in the volume information flags
+ * @clear_bits:	bits to clear in the volume information flags
  *
  * Internal function.  You probably want to use ntfs_{set,clear}_volume_flags()
  * instead (see below).
  *
- * Replace the volume information flags on the volume @vol with the value
- * supplied in @flags.  Note, this overwrites the volume information flags, so
- * make sure to combine the flags you want to modify with the old flags and use
- * the result when calling ntfs_write_volume_flags().
+ * Combine @set_bits and @clear_bits with the current in-memory flag state and
+ * write the result back.  The set/clear helpers pass only the bits to modify,
+ * not the complete flag state.  The read-modify-write happens under
+ * ni->mrec_lock so that concurrent set/clear operations cannot lose updates.
+ * All bit manipulation is done on CPU-endian values, and the result is
+ * converted back to little-endian before storing it.
  *
  * Return 0 on success and -errno on error.
