I got it, using page locking seems OK even for vmtruncate().
I don't know if the mkwrite is actually called from the direct io
path, but no doubt about i_alloc_sem is used in it. To make this
safer and avoid confusion, I took your advice.
The revised patch is attached below.

nilfs2: insert checks and hole block allocation in page_mkwrite (rev 2)
Chris Mason told me that page_mkwrite() has some works to do.

This will insert i_size check, a disk capacity check, and hole block
allocation code in the nilfs_page_mkwrite.
Previously, the hole block allocation was delayed until just before
writing for mmapped pages. This accompanies removal of the delayed
allocation code.
This revision uses a page lock instead of i_alloc_sem for safety.
