int block_invalidatepage (struct page * page, unsigned long offset);
block_invalidatepage is called when all or part of the page has become invalidatedby a truncate operation.
block_invalidatepage does not have to release all buffers, but it must ensure that no dirty buffer is left outside offset and that no I/O is underway against any of the blocks which are outside the truncation point. Because the caller is about to free (and possibly reuse) those blocks on-disk.
