In case of buffered reading from block device, when short read happens,
we should retry to read more, otherwise the IO will be completed
partially, for example, the following fio expects to read 2MB, but it
can only read 1M or less bytes:
fio --name=onessd --filename=/dev/nvme0n1 --filesize=2M \
--rw=randread --bs=2M --direct=0 --overwrite=0 --numjobs=1 \
--iodepth=1 --time_based=0 --runtime=2 --ioengine=io_uring \
--registerfiles --fixedbufs --gtod_reduce=1 --group_reporting
Fix the issue by allowing short read retry for block device, which sets
FMODE_BUF_RASYNC really.

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.
