This is allowed to read fewer bytes than requested. The missing bytes can
be read in the next call.

I don't think this is needed, after all we want to read all data, there is
no point in reading it in smaller chunks, no?

Now the buf is 1024, in case I'm using sdp file, most of my simple testing sdp is about 300 byte, so I think it's preferable to use avio_read_partial and let it return directly. as we don't expect to read 1024 at all.

No, that's not how it works.

avio_read_to_bprint loops until it either has read max_size bytes, or until it reaches EOF. If you use avio_read_partial, it would only loop more times, but it would take the exact same amount of time.

If you read a file from disk, once it has read the 300 bytes of actual data, and reach EOF, it returns directly.

avio_read_partial is only relevant for reading data e.g. over a network, where there's more data following, but you want to consume and process the initially received data before waiting for more. But with avio_read_partial it doesn't return until all data has been received anyway.
