xfs_io's pread & pwrite claim to support a random IO mode where it will do random IOs between offset & offset+len. However, offset was ignored, and we did the IOs between 0 and len instead. Clang caught this by pointing out that the calculated/normalized "offset" variable was never read. (NB: If the range is larger than RAND_MAX, these functions don't work, but that's always been true, so I'll leave it for another day...)
