AI-generated root cause summary:
When a buffered write fails partially (e.g. short copy due to user page fault)
on an ext4 inode in data=journal mode with blocksize < PAGE_SIZE,
ext4_journalled_write_end() invokes ext4_truncate_failed_write() to discard
blocks allocated past inode->i_size. In data=journal mode, buffers attached to a
folio straddling inode->i_size that are undergoing transaction commit cannot be
invalidated immediately by jbd2_journal_invalidate_folio() and return -EBUSY.
While the normal truncate path (ext4_truncate_down()) calls
ext4_wait_for_tail_page_commit() to wait for the committing transaction before
truncating the page cache, ext4_truncate_failed_write() directly calls
truncate_inode_pages(), causing ext4_journalled_invalidate_folio() to encounter
-EBUSY and trigger a WARN_ON.
