I add that vmtruncate is deprecated and I see a call to inode_dio_wait
but no support for direct IO. In addition the lock rules seem strange, I
would avoid playing with inode->i_lock.

And I think you'll call d_delete two times.

As general suggestion: to have a general view how things can work you
can look at other fs. Maybe ramfs or tmpfs are simple enough to
understand the general concepts.
