At first I thought from this name that you were defining a new truncate
mode for fallocate, then I realized that this is mask for deciding if we
/want/ to truncate the pagecache.

#define		BLKDEV_FALLOC_TRUNCATE_MASK ?

Ok, so discarding and writing zeroes truncates the page cache, makes
sense since we're "writing" directly to the block device.

Here things get tricky -- some of the FALLOC_FL mode bits are really an
opcode and cannot be specified together, whereas others select optional
behavior for certain opcodes.

IIRC, the mutually exclusive opcodes are:

	PUNCH_HOLE
	ZERO_RANGE
	COLLAPSE_RANGE
	INSERT_RANGE
	(none of the above, for allocation)

and the "variants on a theme are":

	KEEP_SIZE
	NO_HIDE_STALE
	UNSHARE_RANGE

not all of which are supported by all the opcodes.

Does it make sense to truncate the page cache if userspace passes in
mode == NO_HIDE_STALE?  There's currently no defined meaning for this
combination, but I think this means we'll truncate the pagecache before
deciding if we're actually going to issue any commands.

I think that's just a bug in the existing code -- it should be
validating that @mode is any of the supported combinations *before*
truncating the pagecache.

Otherwise you could have a mkfs program that starts writing new fs
metadata, decides to provision the storage (say for a logging region),
doesn't realize it's running on an old kernel, and then oops the
provision attempt fails but have we now shredded the pagecache and lost
all the writes?
