BTW, will there be any difference if 10Mb write starts one byte before EOF?
IOW, is that if (start_pos > i_size_read(inode)) { in there correct
these days?  And what'll happen if we hit e.g. an unmapped page in the
middle of the data being written?  That will result in short write, but
will it truncate what's left of that dummy range?
