[PATCH] fix O_DIRECT read of last block in a sparse file
Currently, if you open a file O_DIRECT, truncate it to a size that is not a
multiple of the disk block size, and then try to read the last block in the
file, the read will return 0. The problem is in do_direct_IO, here:
/* Handle holes */
if (!buffer_mapped(map_bh)) {
char *kaddr;
...
if (dio->block_in_file >=
i_size_read(dio->inode)>>blkbits) {
/* We hit eof */
page_cache_release(page);
goto out;
}
We shift off any remaining bytes in the final block of the I/O, resulting
in a 0-sized read. I've attached a patch that fixes this. I'm not happy
about how ugly the math is getting, so suggestions are more than welcome.
I've tested this with a simple program that performs the steps outlined for
reproducing the problem above. Without the patch, we get a 0-sized result
from read. With the patch, we get the correct return value from the short
read.
