Wont this generate lastb as the potentially last block? We want lastb-1
as the last one, otherwise the length of IO from it will be 0.

I might be missing something here.

I would expect that the last I/O would be at offset size-blocksize and
size blocksize. Consider this example test case that should generate 1
second of random reads with offsets 0 and 512:

[job]
filename=datafile
blocksize=512
size=1024
time_based
runtime=1
rw=randread
norandommap
write_iolog=/dev/stdout

Running it with FIO_VERSION = fio-2.1.5-44-ga1fc produces the following
result:

fio job | grep datafile | sort | uniq
datafile add
datafile close
datafile open
datafile read 0 512

-> I/O is only generated for offset 0

Running it with the same version and the subject patch applied:

fio job | grep datafile | sort | uniq
datafile add
datafile close
datafile open
datafile read 0 512
datafile read 512 512

-> Both offsets are covered

Tested here, and it does look correct. Thanks, I will apply it.
