[PATCH v2 4/4] io_uring: pre-increment f_pos on rw

From: Dylan Yudaken
Date: Mon Feb 21 2022 - 09:17:32 EST


In read/write ops, preincrement f_pos when no offset is specified, and
then attempt fix up the position after IO completes if it completed less
than expected. This fixes the problem where multiple queued up IO will all
obtain the same f_pos, and so perform the same read/write.

This is still not as consistent as sync r/w, as it is able to advance the
file offset past the end of the file. It seems it would be quite a
performance hit to work around this limitation - such as by keeping track
of concurrent operations - and the downside does not seem to be too
problematic.

The attempt to fix up the f_pos after will at least mean that in situations
where a single operation is run, then the position will be consistent.
