Looks like stream_run() could be a bit streamlined now (the allocation
checking should be unnecessary, unconditionally calling
stream_populate() should be sufficient), but not necessary now.


That is what I had kept in my mind when I tackled this patch. But there is an underwater reef to streamline. Namely, how the block-stream job gets known about a long unallocated tail to exit the loop earlier in the stream_run(). Shall we return the '-EOF' or another error code from the cor_co_preadv_part() to be handled by the stream_run()? Any other suggestions, if any, will be appreciated.

Just calling read CHUNK by CHUNK may be less efficient than is_allocated()-driven loop: you may end up with splitting regions unaligned to CHUNK-granularity, which would not be splitted with is_allocated()-driven loop. Current loop allows chunks unaligned to CHUNK.

The cor_co_preadv_part() will check for the end of a file in the next version. So, the unalignment is not going to be the issue.

So, I think, it's better to keep is_allocated() logic as is for now.
