Read operation gets EOF return when there is multi-client read/write after linux 5.16-rc1

[Frank Hsiao 蕭法宣 <frankhsiao@xxxxxxxx>]

When multiple ceph kernel clients perform read/write on the same file, the read
operation(ceph_sync_read) returns EOF(ret = 0) even though the file has been
written by another client.

My envs use Ceph quincy(v17.2.6) and mount cephfs by ceph kernel client. For the
client side, I use Samba(v4.18.8) to export the folder as smb share and test it
with smbtorture. The test case is smb2.rw.rw1 with the following failure
message:

test: samba4.smb2.rw.rw1 
Checking data integrity over 10 ops 
read failed(NT_STATUS_END_OF_FILE) 
failure: samba4.smb2.rw.rw1 [ 
Exception: read 0, expected 440 
]

After some testing, I figured out that the failure only happens when I have
linux kernel version>=5.16-rc1, specifically after commit
c3d8e0b5de487a7c462781745bc17694a4266696. Kernel logs as below(on 5.16-rc1):

The logs indicate that: 
1. ceph_sync_read may read data but i_size is obsolete in simultaneous rw situation 
2. The commit in 5.16-rc1 cap ret to i_size and set retry_op = CHECK_EOF 
3. When retrying, ceph_sync_read gets len=0 since iov count has modified in 
copy_page_to_iter 
4. ceph_read_iter return 0

I'm not sure if my understanding is correct. As a reference, here is my simple
patch and I need more comments. The purpose of the patch is to prevent
sync read handler from doing copy page when ret > i_size.

Thanks.
