The man page for io_uring generally claims were consistent with what preadv2 and pwritev2 accept, but turns out there's a slight discrepancy in how offset == -1 is handled for pipes/streams. preadv doesn't allow it, but preadv2 does. This currently causes io_uring to return -EINVAL if that is attempted, but we should allow that as documented. This change makes us consistent with preadv2/pwritev2 for just passing in a NULL ppos for streams if the offset is -1.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
