Sorry, what?
You introduce that bug with the way dax_truncate_page() is redefined
to always pass PAGE_CACHE_SIZE a a length later on in this patch.
into the function. That's hardly an ext4 bug....

It's still defined as a function that doesn't exist now....

And then redefined as a macro here. This is wrong, IMO,
dax_truncate_page() should remain as a function and it should
correctly calculate how much of the page shoul dbe trimmed, not
leave landmines that other code has to clean up...
(Yup, I'm tracking down a truncate bug in XFS from fsx...)
