[pve-devel] [PATCH kernel 1/5] fix #5430: cherry-pick fix for ocfs2 io_uring rw issues

[Daniel Kral <d.kral@proxmox.com>]

Reported in the community forum [0].

This fixes an issue with read/write operations done on ocfs2 with
io_uring. This has caused QEMU guests to be unable to determine the file
format at [1] because of an unsuccessful read and therefore could not
boot, which has been resolved with this patch.

This patch is already merged in Jens Axboe's linux-block tree and also
merged in the mainline v6.12 prepatch kernels:

+Subject: [PATCH] io_uring/rw: treat -EOPNOTSUPP for IOCB_NOWAIT like -EAGAIN
+
+Some file systems, ocfs2 in this case, will return -EOPNOTSUPP for
+an IOCB_NOWAIT read/write attempt. While this can be argued to be
+correct, the usual return value for something that requires blocking
+issue is -EAGAIN.
+
+A refactoring io_uring commit dropped calling kiocb_done() for
+negative return values, which is otherwise where we already do that
+transformation. To ensure we catch it in both spots, check it in
+__io_read() itself as well.
