Hi,
I have run our cases these two days to stress test new Patch #1. The new
Patch #1 mainly add filemap_invalidate_{un}lock before and after
truncate_pagecache(), basing on original Patch #1. And the crash has not
happened.
You shouldn't need most of patch 1.

In fact, the only two patches you should need would be this:
+++ b/mm/filemap.c
@@ -2093,7 +2093,6 @@ unsigned find_lock_entries(struct address_space *mapping, pgoff_t start,
                 if (!xa_is_value(page)) {
                         if (page->index < start)
                                 goto put;
-                       VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page->index != xas.xa_index, page);
                         if (page->index + thp_nr_pages(page) - 1 > end)
                                 goto put;
                         if (!trylock_page(page))
(already in Andrew's tree) and:
quoted
-               if (filemap_nr_thps(inode->i_mapping))
+               if (filemap_nr_thps(inode->i_mapping)) {
+                       filemap_invalidate_lock(inode->i_mapping);
                         truncate_pagecache(inode, 0);
+                       filemap_invalidate_unlock(inode->i_mapping);
+               }
If you can still hit a bug with just those two patches, then something
else is going wrong, and needs to be investigated.
OK, I see what your mean. I will send Patch v3 and only keep 
filemap_invalidate_{un}lock in Patch #1.

Thanks!
