Why is mapping->truncate_count atomic? It's incremented inside i_mmap_lock (and i_sem), and the reads don't need it to be atomic. And why smp_rmb() before call to ->nopage? The compiler cannot reorder the initial assignment of sequence after the call to ->nopage, and no cpu (yet!) can read from the future, which is all that matters there. And delete totally bogus reset of truncate_count from blkmtd add_device. truncate_count is all about detecting i_size changes: i_size does not change there; and if it did, the count should be incremented not reset.
