Will above "|| !offset" unconditionally drop the page if the file size happens to be multiples of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE ? Maybe this truncate handling should be removed to let block_write_full_page() handle all the cases ?

+ error = block_write_full_page(page, get_block_noalloc, wbc);

+ gfs2_trans_end(sdp);
+ gfs2_meta_cache_flush(ip);
+ return error;

+out_ignore:
+ redirty_page_for_writepage(wbc, page);
+ unlock_page(page);
+ return 0;
+}
