Hmm. Have you seen this happen? Do you have a reproducible
test case? The inode lock and alloc sem are taken in
ocfs2_page_mkwrite(), which should prevent real truncation of the file
and truncation of the page due to downconvert. I think you're saying
that someone could flush the pagecache and cause a problem here, but I'd
like to have a testcase.
Also, earlier in __ocfs2_page_mkwrite() we return 0 when the
mapping is wrong. Can we do that again?
