It's a fio issue. The io_uring engine uses a different path for short
IO completions, and that's being ignored by the backend... Hence the
IO just gets completed and not retried for this case, and that'll then
trigger verification as if it did complete. I'm fixing it up.

No idea what that is, I regularly use "normal" blktrace and it works just
fine for me.

Right, the page cache is consistent, nothing wrong on that side. This is
purely a fio issue with messing up the short read.

It'd be nice to do better on the short reads, maybe wait for the entire
range to be ready instead of just triggering on the first page.
Something to look into.

Sorry, you should have pinged me earlier. In lieu of strace, we could
expand the io_uring issue event to include a bigger dump of exactly what
is in the command being issued instead of just the opcode. There's
already info in there enabling someone to tie the complete and submit
events together, so it could have been deduced that we never retried a
short IO on the application side. But it should not be that hard to dig
out, I agree we need to make it easier to debug these kinds of things.
Definitely on the list!
