Hi,
Thanks for sending the test case. I wrote my own program that tests for
the same thing, and it also works fine. To make sure it doesn't break
no-overwrite mode, I also ran several tests with blktrace and that looks
good too.
Thanks very much for analyzing the problem and providing the patch!
Just to summarize - the problem this fixes is that in overwrite mode,
the current read code doesn't pick up all the data it could if the whole
buffer is filled - it will leave behind sub-buffers at the beginning.
With this patch, the data in those sub-buffers is read as well.
