f2fs: Return EOF on unaligned end of file DIO read
Reading past end of file returns EOF for aligned reads but -EINVAL for unaligned reads on f2fs. While documentation is not strict about this corner case, most filesystem returns EOF on this case, like iomap filesystems. This patch consolidates the behavior for f2fs, by making it return EOF(0). it can be verified by a read loop on a file that does a partial read before EOF (A file that doesn't end at an aligned address). The following code fails on an unaligned file on f2fs, but not on btrfs, ext4, and xfs. while (done < total) { ssize_t delta = pread(fd, buf + done, total - done, off + done); if (!delta) break; ... } It is arguable whether filesystems should actually return EOF or -EINVAL, but since iomap filesystems support it, and so does the original DIO code, it seems reasonable to consolidate on that.
