That comment seems wrong - this just rounds up where we start
trimming from to be aligned...

I think this would be better written as:

	/*
	 * Forced extent alignment requires us to round up where we
	 * start trimming from so that result is correctly aligned.
	 */
	if (xfs_inode_forcealign(ip)) {
		if (ip->i_extsize > 1)
			end_fsb = roundup_64(end_fsb, ip->i_extsize);
		else if (XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE(ip) && mp->m_sb.sb_rextsize > 1)
			end_fsb = xfs_rtb_roundup_rtx(mp, end_fsb);
	}

Because we only want end-fsb alignment when forced alignment is
required.

Which then makes me wonder: truncate needs this, too, doesn't it?
And the various fallocate() ops like hole punching and extent
shifting?

This can go away - if it is needed elsewhere, then I think it would
be better open coded because it better documents what the code is
doing...
