truncate presently invalidates the dirty page's buffer_heads then shoots down the page. But try_to_free_buffers() will now bale out because the page is dirty. Net effect: the LRU gets filled with dirty pages which have invalidated buffer_heads attached. They have no ->mapping and hence cannot be cleaned. The machine leaks memory at an enormous rate. Fix this by cleaning the page before running try_to_free_buffers(), so try_to_free_buffers() can do its work. Also, remember to do dirty-page-acoounting in cancel_dirty_page() so the machine won't wedge up trying to write non-existent dirty pages. Probably still wrong, but now less so.
