It's a bit odd to writeback the entire file but then truncate only part
of it.  XFS does the same part:

        error = filemap_write_and_wait_range(inode->i_mapping, start, end);
        if (error)
                return error;
        truncate_pagecache_range(inode, start, end);

... and presumably, you'd also want the error check?
