In case of truncate errors we explicitly remove inode from in-core orphan list via orphan_del(NULL, inode) without on-disk list modification. But later same inode may be inserted in the orphan list again which result in on-disk link corruption. If inode i_dtime contains valid value let skip on-disk list modification.
