[RFC PATCH v1 03/10] mm: truncate: Expose preparation steps for truncate_inode_pages_final()

From: Ackerley Tng

Date: Mon Feb 23 2026 - 02:07:17 EST


Expose preparation steps for truncate_inode_pages_final() to allow
preparation steps to be shared by filesystems that want to implement
truncation differently.

This preparation function will be used by guest_memfd in a later patch.
