    io_uring: make offset == -1 consistent with preadv2/pwritev2 · 0fef9483
    Jens Axboe 提交于
    The man page for io_uring generally claims were consistent with what
    preadv2 and pwritev2 accept, but turns out there's a slight discrepancy
    in how offset == -1 is handled for pipes/streams. preadv doesn't allow
    it, but preadv2 does. This currently causes io_uring to return -EINVAL
    if that is attempted, but we should allow that as documented.
    
    This change makes us consistent with preadv2/pwritev2 for just passing
    in a NULL ppos for streams if the offset is -1.
