[ Upstream commit 565333a1554d704789e74205989305c811fd9c7a ]
No need to wait for any commit once the page is fully truncated. Besides, it may confuse e.g. concurrent ext4_writepage() with the page still be dirty (will be cleared by truncate_pagecache() in ext4_setattr()) but buffers has been freed; and then trigger a bug show as below:
[ 26.057508] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 26.058531] kernel BUG at fs/ext4/inode.c:2134! ...

Run the procedure (generate by syzkaller) parallel with ext3.
void main() { int fd, fd1, ret; void *addr; size_t length = 4096; int flags; off_t offset = 0; char *str = "12345";
fd = open("a", O_RDWR | O_CREAT); assert(fd >= 0);
/* Truncate to 4k */ ret = ftruncate(fd, length); assert(ret == 0);
/* Journal data mode */ flags = 0xc00f; ret = ioctl(fd, _IOW('f', 2, long), &flags); assert(ret == 0);
/* Truncate to 0 */ fd1 = open("a", O_TRUNC | O_NOATIME); assert(fd1 >= 0);
addr = mmap(NULL, length, PROT_WRITE | PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, offset); assert(addr != (void *)-1);
memcpy(addr, str, 5); mbind(addr, length, 0, 0, 0, MPOL_MF_MOVE); }
And the bug will be triggered once we seen the below order.

... | ... truncate to 4k | change to journal data mode | | memcpy(set page dirty) truncate to 0: | ext4_setattr: | ... | ext4_wait_for_tail_page_commit | | mbind(trigger bug) truncate_pagecache(clean dirty)| ... ... |
mbind will call ext4_writepage() since the page still be dirty, and then report the bug since the buffers has been free. Fix it by return directly once offset equals to 0 which means the page has been fully truncated.
