OK, so I could easily reproduce this which is good :). It took a bit longer
to actually debug what's going on. In the end I've confirmed this is a
false positive (the assertion isn't 100% reliable). What happens is that
the IO end completion races with expanding truncate (which is not
synchronized with DIO in any way) and the assertion sees a situation where
i_disksize was updated but i_size not yet. This is mostly harmless but we
better should complete the DIO only once we are sure truncate has updated
the i_size as well. I'll think how to best do this.
