In ext4 data=journal mode, direct read will fall back to buffer read, and buffer
read doesn't take inode lock, so it doesn't need to wait for the writer to finish
first and sees the intermediate inode size and returns data less than 1M.

We can just check the actual read data instead of the whole read buffer.

I think this should be a signed value, as pread returns ssize_t. And
maybe rename the variable to read_sz? Otherwise looks fine to me. And I
can do the updates on commit, if there's no further review comments.
Hi Eryu,

Thanks for your comment, i can send v3 patch as you suggested. :-)

Thanks,
