can't you end with this?
O_DIRECT write
write finishes
truncate drops the write
truncate set i_sem to 0
write set i_sem to something
and the fs is then corrupt? (very minor corruption of course and
extremely hard to trigger, trivially solvable by an fsck, ext[23] had
similar issues too with the get_block failures with < PAGE_SIZE
softblocksize, fixed around 2.4.19, that was certainly easier to
reproduce btw)
