__ceph_sync_read() does not correctly handle reads when the inode size is zero. It is easy to hit a NULL pointer dereference by continuously reading a file while, on another client, we keep truncating and writing new data into it. The NULL pointer dereference happens when the inode size is zero but the read op returns some data (ceph_osdc_wait_request()). This will lead to 'left' being set to a huge value due to the overflow in: left = i_size - off; and, in the loop that follows, the pages[] array being accessed beyond num_pages. This patch fixes the issue simply by checking the inode size and returning if it is zero, even if there was data from the read op.
