No.  We already have one half-finished series here; mixing it with another
one is not going to happen.  Such flags are tolerable only as bisectability
helpers.  They *must* disappear by the end of series.  Before it can be
submitted for merge.

In effect, you are mixing truncate switchover with your writepage one.
Please, split and reorder.

  Well, this wasn't meant as a final version of those patches. It was
meant as a request for comment whether it makes sence to fix the problem
how I propose to fix it. If we agree on that, I'll go and convert the rest
of filesystems so that we can remove .new_writepage hack. By that time I
hope that new truncate sequence patches will be merged so that dependency
should go away as well...

Could you carve just the ext4 part of truncate series out of that and
post it separately?
