    linux-aio: Allow reads beyond the end of growable images · b161e2e4
    Kevin Wolf authored
    This is the linux-aio version of commits 22afa7b5 (raw-posix, synchronous) and
    ba1d1afd
    
     (posix-aio-compat). Reads now produce zeros after the end of file
    instead of failing or resulting in short reads, making linux-aio compatible
    with the behaviour of synchronous raw-posix requests and posix-aio-compat.
    
    The problem can be reproduced like this:
    
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test.raw bs=1 count=1234
    ./qemu-io -k -n -g -c 'read -p 1024 512' /tmp/test.raw
    
    Previously, the result of this was 'read failed: Invalid argument', now the
    read completes successfully.
