Please see the above 2 write error check. You can find

if (ret < 0)
goto out;

only in the first check. (I know, it might a bit misleadable)
So, the first write is failed with error message, it doesn't call rollback.

If the old_size is current size, ftruncate must do nothing, doesn't it?

Thank you,
