It's likely that it is leaving a dirty buffer on the page beyond EOF
as a result of the truncate zeroing the remainder of the page in
memory.

If I get a chance I'll look at it this afternoon, as this patchset
also seems to be causing a marked increase in the number of fsstress
failures due to stray delalloc blocks in files even on 4k block size
filesystems (e.g. at unmount).

Cheers,

Dave.
