So, the offence is trying to acquire &ei->truncate_mutex while already
holding lock_page_0.

These traces show how the previous (reverse) dependancy came into being

So this trace ( -> #1 ) shows how lock_page_0 became to depend on
&ei->truncate_mutex ( -> #0 ).

So #0 and #1 are compatible, and build the dependancy:

  &ei->truncate_mutex
     lock_page_0

Then the part you cut out:

Here we take: &ei->truncate_mutex

while some path from generic_file_buffered_write() took: lock_page_0
probably __grab_cache_page()

Shows the current stacktrace where we violate the previously established
locking order.
