From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> When an inode is truncated down, speculative preallocation is removed from the inode. This should also reset the state bits for controlling whether preallocation is subsequently removed when the file is next closed. The flag is not being cleared, so repeated operations on a file that first involve a truncate (e.g. multiple repeated dd invocations on a file) give different file layouts for the second and subsequent invocations. Fix this by clearing the XFS_IDIRTY_RELEASE state bit when the XFS_ITRUNCATED bit is detected in xfs_release() and hence ensure that speculative delalloc is removed on files that have been truncated down.
