If you have someone trying to bypass your sanity checks then if start=18446744073709551104 and len=1024 the result of adding them together will be 512 (subtracting an extra 1 in the patched code to get 511 for end). That will pass the i_size_read check won't it? If so that would cause lstart in truncate_inode_pages_range() to be -512. I don't know what truncate_inode_pages_range() will do with a negative lstart value like that but it seems like an unusual value for your code to be willing to pass into truncate_inode_pages_range().
