What about AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE?  Off corse we can't just "goto retry" here :) ,
but we may return it to caller and let's caller handle it.

if ->commit_write return non negative value we return with sill locked page  look above at [1] 
may be it will be unlocked by caller? I guess no it was just forgoten.

<<<<OOPS why you new block wasn't fully zeroed? as it was done before.
At least this result in information leak in case of (stat == from)
just imagine fs with blocksize == 1k conains file with i_size == 4096 and 
fist two blocks not mapped (hole), now invoke write op from 1023 to 2048.
For example we succeed in allocating first block, but faile while allocating second
, then we call page_zero_new_buffers(...from == 1023, to == 2048)
  and then zerro only one last byte for first block, and set is uptodate
After this we just do read( from == 0, to == 1023) and steal old block content.
