There would be no actual data, but a message footer which follows the
data section and ends the message would be outstanding.

AFAIU the problem is that a short read may occur while reading the
message footer from the socket.  Later, when the socket is ready for
another read, the messenger invokes all read_partial* handlers,
including read_partial_sparse_msg_data().  The contract between the
messenger and these handlers is that the handler should bail if the
area of the message it's responsible for is already processed.  So,
in this case, it's expected that read_sparse_msg_data() would bail,
allowing the messenger to invoke read_partial() for the footer and
pick up where it left off.

However read_sparse_msg_data() violates that contract and ends up
calling into the state machine in the OSD client.  The state machine
assumes that it's a new op and interprets some piece of the footer (or
even completely random memory?) as the sparse-read header and returns
bogus extent length, etc.

(BTW it's why I suggested the rename from read_sparse_msg_data() to
read_partial_sparse_msg_data() in another patch -- to highlight that
it's one of the "partial" handlers and the respective behavior.)

Thanks,
