    io_uring: remove punt of short reads to async context · eacc6dfa
    Jens Axboe authored
    We currently punt any short read on a regular file to async context,
    but this fails if the short read is due to running into EOF. This is
    especially problematic since we only do the single prep for commands
    now, as we don't reset kiocb->ki_pos. This can result in a 4k read on
    a 1k file returning zero, as we detect the short read and then retry
    from async context. At the time of retry, the position is now 1k, and
    we end up reading nothing, and hence return 0.
    
    Instead of trying to patch around the fact that short reads can be
    legitimate and won't succeed in case of retry, remove the logic to punt
    a short read to async context. Simply return it.
