netfs: zero the tail of a short DIO/unbuffered readgrafted
The buffered read collector zero-fills the tail of a short read that stops below the inode's i_size (netfs_clear_unread()), so a read that races an extending write still returns the expected number of bytes. The non-buffered collector path does no such thing: it just records how much was transferred. Add the same zero-fill for the non-buffered case, gated on NETFS_SREQ_CLEAR_TAIL: a subreq's source sets that flag when a short result from it is known to be safe to treat as a hole, as opposed to NETFS_SREQ_HIT_EOF, which means the read genuinely ran off the end of the file and should be reported short as-is. Only CLEAR_TAIL should zero-fill here; a real EOF must stay a real short read. No source currently sets CLEAR_TAIL on an unbuffered/DIO subrequest, so this is inert on its own -- a following change teaches cifs to set it in the one case that needs it.

+/*
+ * THE JOURNAL:
+ *
+ * The journal is treated as a circular buffer of buckets - a journal entry
+ * never spans two buckets. This means (not implemented yet) we can resize the
+ * journal at runtime, and will be needed for bcache on raw flash support.
+ *
+ * Journal entries contain a list of keys, ordered by the time they were
+ * inserted; thus journal replay just has to reinsert the keys.
+ *
+ * We also keep some things in the journal header that are logically part of the
+ * superblock - all the things that are frequently updated. This is for future
+ * bcache on raw flash support; the superblock (which will become another
+ * journal) can't be moved or wear leveled, so it contains just enough
+ * information to find the main journal, and the superblock only has to be
+ * rewritten when we want to move/wear level the main journal.
+ *
+ * Currently, we don't journal BTREE_REPLACE operations - this will hopefully be
+ * fixed eventually. This isn't a bug - BTREE_REPLACE is used for insertions
+ * from cache misses, which don't have to be journaled, and for writeback and
+ * moving gc we work around it by flushing the btree to disk before updating the
+ * gc information. But it is a potential issue with incremental garbage
+ * collection, and it's fragile.
+ *
+ * OPEN JOURNAL ENTRIES:
+ *
+ * Each journal entry contains, in the header, the sequence number of the last
+ * journal entry still open - i.e. that has keys that haven't been flushed to
+ * disk in the btree.
+ *
+ * We track this by maintaining a refcount for every open journal entry, in a
+ * fifo; each entry in the fifo corresponds to a particular journal
+ * entry/sequence number. When the refcount at the tail of the fifo goes to
+ * zero, we pop it off - thus, the size of the fifo tells us the number of open
+ * journal entries
+ *
+ * We take a refcount on a journal entry when we add some keys to a journal
+ * entry that we're going to insert (held by struct btree_op), and then when we
+ * insert those keys into the btree the btree write we're setting up takes a
+ * copy of that refcount (held by struct btree_write). That refcount is dropped
+ * when the btree write completes.
+ *
+ * A struct btree_write can only hold a refcount on a single journal entry, but
+ * might contain keys for many journal entries - we handle this by making sure
+ * it always has a refcount on the _oldest_ journal entry of all the journal
+ * entries it has keys for.
+ *
+ * JOURNAL RECLAIM:
+ *
+ * As mentioned previously, our fifo of refcounts tells us the number of open
+ * journal entries; from that and the current journal sequence number we compute
+ * last_seq - the oldest journal entry we still need. We write last_seq in each
+ * journal entry, and we also have to keep track of where it exists on disk so
+ * we don't overwrite it when we loop around the journal.
+ *
+ * To do that we track, for each journal bucket, the sequence number of the
+ * newest journal entry it contains - if we don't need that journal entry we
+ * don't need anything in that bucket anymore. From that we track the last
+ * journal bucket we still need; all this is tracked in struct journal_device
+ * and updated by journal_reclaim().
+ *
+ * JOURNAL FILLING UP:
+ *
+ * There are two ways the journal could fill up; either we could run out of
+ * space to write to, or we could have too many open journal entries and run out
+ * of room in the fifo of refcounts. Since those refcounts are decremented
+ * without any locking we can't safely resize that fifo, so we handle it the
+ * same way.
+ *
+ * If the journal fills up, we start flushing dirty btree nodes until we can
+ * allocate space for a journal write again - preferentially flushing btree
+ * nodes that are pinning the oldest journal entries first.
