Hi Henry,

I made a small change to the O_DIRECT path to zero holes properly in 
commit 85defe7 (below).  Do you mind reviewing the change, and/or testing, 
since you are the main O_DIRECT user?  The test case that was failing is 
here:

        http://tracker.newdream.net/issues/1096#note-19

The problem was that the read coming down from the VFS isn't trimmed to 
i_size, so the old zero tail check wasn't true, and we would set 
*checkeof.  Then ceph_aio_read would getattr and loop, since we 
didn't actually read eof (due to a hole).

Actually, I suspect the *checkeof part is still incorrect... does the 
zeroing part at least look right to you?

Thanks!
sage

Subject: [PATCH] ceph: fix short sync reads from the OSD

If we get a short read from the OSD because the object is small, we need to
zero the remainder of the buffer.  For O_DIRECT reads, the attempted range
is not trimmed to i_size by the VFS, so we were actually looping
indefinitely.

Fix by trimming by i_size, and the unconditionally zeroing the trailing
range.
