[PATCH] fix O_DIRECT read of last block in a sparse file

Browse Source 
Currently, if you open a file O_DIRECT, truncate it to a size that is not a
multiple of the disk block size, and then try to read the last block in the
file, the read will return 0.  The problem is in do_direct_IO, here:

        /* Handle holes */
        if (!buffer_mapped(map_bh)) {
                char *kaddr;

		...

                if (dio->block_in_file >=
                        i_size_read(dio->inode)>>blkbits) {
                        /* We hit eof */
                        page_cache_release(page);
                        goto out;
                }

We shift off any remaining bytes in the final block of the I/O, resulting
in a 0-sized read.  I've attached a patch that fixes this.  I'm not happy
about how ugly the math is getting, so suggestions are more than welcome.

I've tested this with a simple program that performs the steps outlined for
reproducing the problem above.  Without the patch, we get a 0-sized result
from read.  With the patch, we get the correct return value from the short
read.
