Tejun Heo 39e88ca2c9 [PATCH] fs: error case fix in __generic_file_aio_read
When __generic_file_aio_read() hits an error during reading, it reports the
error iff nothing has successfully been read yet.  This is condition - when
an error occurs, if nothing has been read/written, report the error code;
otherwise, report the amount of bytes successfully transferred upto that
point.

This corner case can be exposed by performing readv(2) with the following
iov.

 iov[0] = len0 @ ptr0
 iov[1] = len1 @ NULL (or any other invalid pointer)
 iov[2] = len2 @ ptr2

When file size is enough, performing above readv(2) results in

 len0 bytes from file_pos @ ptr0
 len2 bytes from file_pos + len0 @ ptr2

And the return value is len0 + len2.  Test program is attached to this
mail.

This patch makes __generic_file_aio_read()'s error handling identical to
other functions.

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	const char *path;
	struct stat stbuf;
	size_t len0, len1;
	void *buf0, *buf1;
	struct iovec iov[3];
	int fd, i;
	ssize_t ret;

	if (argc < 2) {
		fprintf(stderr, "Usage: testreadv path (better be a "
			"small text file)\n");
		return 1;
	}
	path = argv[1];

	if (stat(path, &stbuf) < 0) {
		perror("stat");
		return 1;
	}

	len0 = stbuf.st_size / 2;
	len1 = stbuf.st_size - len0;

	if (!len0 || !len1) {
		fprintf(stderr, "Dude, file is too small\n");
		return 1;
	}

	if ((fd = open(path, O_RDONLY)) < 0) {
		perror("open");
		return 1;
	}

	if (!(buf0 = malloc(len0)) || !(buf1 = malloc(len1))) {
		perror("malloc");
		return 1;
	}

	memset(buf0, 0, len0);
	memset(buf1, 0, len1);

	iov[0].iov_base = buf0;
	iov[0].iov_len = len0;
	iov[1].iov_base = NULL;
	iov[1].iov_len = len1;
	iov[2].iov_base = buf1;
	iov[2].iov_len = len1;

	printf("vector ");
	for (i = 0; i < 3; i++)
		printf("%p:%zu ", iov[i].iov_base, iov[i].iov_len);
	printf("\n");

	ret = readv(fd, iov, 3);
	if (ret < 0)
		perror("readv");

	printf("readv returned %zd\nbuf0 = [%s]\nbuf1 = [%s]\n",
	       ret, (char *)buf0, (char *)buf1);

	return 0;
}
