We ran into an issue with loop and btrfs, where btrfs would complain about
checksum errors. It turns out that is because we don't handle short reads
at all, we just zero fill the remainder. Worse than that, we don't handle
the filling properly, which results in loop trying to advance a single
bio by much more than its size, since it doesn't take chaining into
account.
Handle short reads appropriately, by simply retrying at the new correct
offset. End the remainder of the request with EIO, if we get a 0 read.
Fixes: bc07c10a3603 ("block: loop: support DIO & AIO")

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
