Writeback is the only place where we do not hold i_mutex and we cannot grab it there because of lock ordering. We fix the race by doing both i_disksize and i_size update in truncate atomically under i_data_sem and in mpage_map_and_submit_extent() we move the check against i_size under i_data_sem as well.
