Subject[RFC PATCH] fs: __generic_file_splice_read retry lookup on AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE
Date
During testing, I discovered that __generic_file_splice_read() returns
0 (EOF) when aops->readpage fails with AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE on the first
page of a single/multi-page splice read operation. This EOF return code
causes the userspace test to (correctly) report a zero-length read error
when it was expecting otherwise.

The current strategy of returning a partial non-zero read when ->readpage
returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE works only when the failed page is not the
first of the lot being processed.

This patch attempts to retry lookup and call ->readpage again on pages
that had previously failed with AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE. With this patch, my
tests pass and I haven't noticed any unwanted side effects.
