Hum. Is this an appending write into the next rtextent? For example,
if you start with a file like this:
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWuuuuuuuuu
^ old EOF
Then truncate it improperly like this:
WWWWWzWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWuuuuuuuuu
^ new EOF
Then do an extending write like this:
WWWWWzWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuWWWuuuuuuuuu
^ EOF ^ next rtx ^ append here
And now the problem is that we've exposed stale data that should be
zeroes?
WWWWWzWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuWWWuuuuuuuuu
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^ new EOF
should be zeroed

<nod> iomap_truncate_page writes zeroes to any part of the pagecache
backed by written extents, and then xfs must call
filemap_write_and_wait_range to write the dirty (zeroed) cache out to
disk.

A written -> unwritten extent conversion doesn't change which physical
space extent is mapped to the file data extent; it merely marks the
mapping as unwritten.
For example, if you start with this mapping:
{startoff = 8, startblock 256, blockcount = 8, state = written}
and then convert blocks 13-15 to unwritten, you get:
{startoff = 8, startblock 256, blockcount = 5, state = written}
{startoff = 13, startblock 261, blockcount = 3, state = unwritten}
File blocks 8-15 still map to physical space 256-263.
In xfs, the entire allocation unit is /always/ mapped to the file, even
if parts of it have to be unwritten. Hole punching on rt, for example,
converts the punched region to unwritten. This is (iirc) the key
difference between xfs rt and ext4 bigalloc. xfs doesn't have or need
(or want) the implied cluster allocation code that ext4 has.
I can't tell if there's something that you see that I don't see such
that we really /do/ need to actually write zeroes to the entire tail of
the rtextent; or if you weren't sure that forcing all the post-eof
fsblocks in the rtextent to unwritten (and zapping the pagecache) would
actually preserve the rtextsize alignment.
(Or if there's something else?)

"Z" on the second line of the second diagram is a written fsblock with
the tail zeroed, correct?
truncate_setsize -> truncate_pagecache unmaps all the pagecache after
the eof folio and unconditionally zeroes the tail of the eof folio
without regard to the mappings. Doesn't that cover us here? After the
truncate_setsize finishes, won't we end up in this state:
|<- rextsize ->|
zzzzzzzz
ZUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

<nod> Ok, so this second call to filemap_write_and_wait_range flushes
the newly written pagecache to disk. If it doesn't work to
force-convert the tail fsblocks of the rtextent to unwritten status,
then I suppose this is necessary if @blocksize != mp->m_sb.blocksize.
