ext4: fix race between truncate and __ext4_journalled_writepage()
commit bdf96838aea6a265f2ae6cbcfb12a778c84a0b8e upstream.
The commit cf108bca465d: "ext4: Invert the locking order of page_lock
and transaction start" caused __ext4_journalled_writepage() to drop
the page lock before the page was written back, as part of changing
the locking order to jbd2_journal_start -> page_lock. However, this
introduced a potential race if there was a truncate racing with the
data=journalled writeback mode.
Fix this by grabbing the page lock after starting the journal handle,
and then checking to see if page had gotten truncated out from under
us.
This fixes a number of different warnings or BUG_ON's when running
xfstests generic/086 in data=journalled mode, including:
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata: vdc-8: bad jh for block 115643: transaction (ee3fe7
c0, 164), jh->b_transaction ( (null), 0), jh->b_next_transaction ( (null), 0), jlist 0
