They're still all very similar, ie it's always about that normal truncate 
path - the details just differ about exactly what causes the truncate.

I committed the patch witha slightly extended comment and without the 
WARN_ON(). But it would be great to verify that this really fixes it, and 
that there isn't some *other* leak. So please keep running the kernel with 
the patch, and try to make your dirty page leak happen, and see if it 
really is gone now...

Just to verify that there isn't something else going on too...
