4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org>
commit d05c5f7ba164aed3db02fb188c26d0dd94f5455b upstream.
We truncated the possible read iterator to s_maxbytes in commit
c2a9737f45e2 ("vfs,mm: fix a dead loop in truncate_inode_pages_range()"),
but our end condition handling was wrong: it's not an error to try to
read at the end of the file.
Reading past the end should return EOF (0), not EINVAL.
See for example
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1649342
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2016-12/msg00008.html
where a md5sum of a maximally sized file fails because the final read is
exactly at s_maxbytes.
