From: Qing Zhang <diasyzhang@tencent.com>
In data=journal mode, a failed extending write can leave buffers beyond
i_size attached to the committing transaction. When blocksize < PAGE_SIZE,
invalidating these buffers in the partial tail folio returns -EBUSY,
triggering a warning in ext4_journalled_invalidate_folio() and leaving
invalidation incomplete.
Call ext4_wait_for_tail_page_commit() before truncating the page cache
in ext4_truncate_failed_write(), as is already done when shrinking a file
via ext4_setattr(). The helper releases the folio lock before waiting
for the commit to finish, then retries invalidation.
Fixes: 53e872681fed ("ext4: fix deadlock in journal_unmap_buffer()")
Reported-by: syzbot+f111db4cb2acd44eb2f4@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzbot.appspot.com/bug?extid=f111db4cb2acd44eb2f4
