As I said under 02/12, I'd much rather not change from the existing -1
convention: I don't think it's wonderful, but I do think it's confusing
and a waste of effort to change from it; and I'd rather keep the code
in truncate.c close to what's doing the same job in shmem.c.
Here's what I came up with (and hacked tmpfs to use it without swap
temporarily, so I could run fsx for an hour to validate it). But you
can see I've a couple of questions; and probably ought to reduce the
partial page code duplication once we're sure what should go in there.

[PATCH]...
Apply to truncate_inode_pages_range() the changes 83e4fa9c16e4 ("tmpfs:
support fallocate FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE") made to shmem_truncate_range():
so the generic function can handle partial end offset for hole-punching.
In doing tmpfs, I became convinced that it needed a set_page_dirty() on
the partial pages, and I'm doing that here: but perhaps it should be the
responsibility of the calling filesystem? I don't know.
And I'm doubtful whether this code can be correct (on a filesystem with
blocksize less than pagesize) without adding an end offset argument to
address_space_operations invalidatepage(page, offset): convince me!
