Then we need to update the definition of a filter:

    /* set to true if the BlockDriver is a block filter. Block filters pass
     * certain callbacks that refer to data (see block.c) to their bs->file if
     * the driver doesn't implement them. Drivers that do not wish to forward
     * must implement them and return -ENOTSUP.
     */
    bool is_filter;

This talks about bs->file specifically, and commit and mirror nodes use
bs->backing instead. Most places that check bs->in_filter do so to check
whether they can forward stuff to bs->file, and they don't consider
bs->backing.

I think the latter will be fixed after patch 3, but the definition in
the comment is still wrong at the end of the series.
