Overall this looks OK. Some smaller suggestions below...

Hum, is this guaranteed to compile properly on 32-bit archs without
optimization? It would be 64-bit division... Maybe we don't care, it just
caught my eye...

BTW you could just drop end != -1 part because end == -1 iff lend == -1 so
(lend + 1) % PAGE_SIZE is stronger.

^^^^^^^^ Just lend here?

You use 'index' effectively as bool in all of the above (only ever check
index != -1). And effectively you only use it to communicate whether tail
partial page got already handled or not. Maybe there's some less cryptic
way to achieve that? Even separate bool just for that would be probably
better that this.

^^^^^^^^^ Again this is unnecessary...

^^^^^^^ Again why +1 here?

Similarly to shmem the use of index is a bit confusing here but it at least
gets used in this case so OK. But I'd still find something like:

if (!tail_page_already_truncated)
page = find_lock_head(mapping, lend >> PAGE_SHIFT);

easier to grasp.
